Acquired in SPU's Renaissance Purchase Project (art from recycled materials), this artwork was created by the Bay Area artist from materials he found in the landfill alongside the bay. Although it is made of throw-away materials, the overall appearance is quite beautiful with the nuances of color and texture, not to mention very resourceful.
