An Old-fashioned Christmas 2 – Wall sculpture by NancyDee Sculptures

I particularly like this Christmas tree wall sculpture because, although it’s obviously a Christmas decoration, it avoids the standard red and green colours. It definitely exudes an air of elegance being on a burnt sienna Italian tile, despite featuring tyre balance weights that I’ve collected from the gutters. And yes, I found the tile on the street as well – there was a box of them in a laneway, obviously left over from someone’s recent renovations.

Description

I created this 10x10cm wall sculpture called An Old-fashioned Christmas 2 from a burnt siena tile made in Italy, tyre balance weights and a copper-coloured bead. I found all the bits and pieces on the streets of Melbourne during my daily walks. It comes with metal stand to display on a book shelf or mantelpiece.
Found object assemblage sculptor
My name is Nancy D Lane. I am a found object assemblage artist and jewellery designer working under the name NancyDee Sculptures. I create wall sculptures, 3D sculptures and brooches from the metal, wood, tiles and plastic that I pick up off the streets.
My inspiration
Many of my works are inspired by the Melbourne skyline, especially at sunrise and sunset. Often I try to incorporate ‘natural features’. A bent nail suggests a meandering river. Rusted sheet metal transforms into a cloud. A broken tile becomes a mountain.

My more abstract works are stimulated by the found objects themselves, which I often place in juxtaposition. At other times, I emphasise their rusted, scratched or variegated surfaces.
May yours be a sustainable Christmas
My art is inspired by a strong interest in sustainability through repurposing and upcycling. Too many of our Christmas decorations are transient, purchased a few weeks before the holiday and discarded a few weeks later.

My hope is that this work finds a more permanent home and that every year, it makes you smile. At the same time, I hope it also reminds you of the 5Rs to help our planet: refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle.my daily walks.

Sculptures & brooches from upcycled street and beach found objects

My name is Nancy D Lane. I am a found object assemblage artist working as NancyDee Sculptures. I love creating sculptures, brooches and art magnets from the metal, wood, tile and plastic I find on streets and beaches – mostly in Melbourne, though on my travels as well.My works range in size from less than 2×2cm to more than 2 metres. My art is inspired by the challenge of happenstance, using only the materials I pick up on my daily walks.I work as an artist in residence at River Studios in West Melbourne. I have had 7 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 60 group exhibitions. Most importantly, I am commited to sustainability and hope that my creative use of unloved and unwanted trash will serve as a reminder of the 5Rs: refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, and recycle.
