This kind letter arrived from the V&A recently. Thanks to Clare Philips & Amara Cole for believing in my work and thus making this acquisition happen. The gift honors the 24k gold American treasure, Prof Robert Ebendorf- friend, metalsmith, mentor. Our paths have been intertwined for decades. Nice to know the piece will be cared for in its new home.

Loosely translated: "Anyway the interior made from garbage "eye catching"

Artists who turn garbage into a work of art.
Every time I see it, I am amazed at their ideas, but Boris Bally is one of them.
Boris who works based in the state of Rhode Island in the United States reuses road signs made of aluminum, which are no longer needed, and has transformed it into various products.
This series of works reborn road signs that were born to continue warning attention to people in a new and humorous form. It attracts a lot of attention in the field of eco art.

Wow. How cool is THAT. Nice to have work included. Aaron Usher
