Together, Wear Recycle and Natural Living Tree™ challenge audience’s view of personal control by combining Wear Recycle’s artistic process of personal reflection with the goal of change with Natural Living Tree™’s personal growth and spiritual consciousness.
Wear Recycle is a conceptual and process based art production that uses reconfigured paper to explore how behavior patterns derived from childhood and adolescence affects adult relationships. Lead artist, Nicky Watts, says about the process:
“Visualize ripping pieces of paper, under water, into mush. Forty gallons each batch. My mind wonders between past conversations and imagined ones. I rip this paper. I dissect all these conversations. I feel the strength of memories through my body as I rip paper. As I grind each particle with my fists.”
Processing reconfigured paper is a metaphor for learning behavior patterns. Change within each process has monumental affects on the outcome. The goal is to understand the affects within our personal behavior so that the negative patterns can be changed to positive patterns. The artwork is the result of effort to change.
