The Dog as Art

We’re suckers for good art, but even bigger saps for clever art. Check out this Siberian Husky. It’s made entirely from discarded bicycle chains.

Israel-based artist, Nirit Levav, found a way to create beautiful art and recycle metal at the same time. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design in New York City, Levav built a career for herself specializing in bridal gowns, but after years of working in the fashion industry, Nirit realized she couldn’t satisfied her artistic urge to create solely as a designer. so she started broadening her education by studying iron sculpting, pottery, jewelry and ceramics. Although her newly acquired skills helped develop as an artist, it was at her father’s theater sets workshops that she most of her training, including welding, metal cutting and experimenting with various materials and substances. The time spent in her father’s workshop also inspired her love for recycling, as nothing was ever thrown away there and everything could be used to create something new. Cool, eh?
