Recycling: The process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. 

Smashed and left to decay in a neighboring creek-bed within the Appalachian Mountains, the guitar body represented in these prints was rescued and repurposed in order to create hand-made collagraph prints based on the concept of re-using found materials. 

One man's trash is another man's printing matrix.

Prints were pulled on various rag paper including BFK Rives, Copperplate and Magnani Revere Suede. All guitar and pick guard proofs are 1/1 and the blue pick guard guitar proof is an edition of 2.
