This week we're excited to be featuring Emily Krill, a local artist and frequent shopper at Creative Reuse! Learn more about Emily's work below: "Emily Krill is a Pittsburgh-based collage artist who builds large-scale works from antique paper ephemera. She works with ledgers, letters, blueprints, children’s schoolwork, player piano paper, and other fragments of daily life that date from the 1800s to the 1970s, weaving these cast-off materials into bold new compositions. Her practice is rooted in the belief that forgotten scraps of history can be reimagined into something vibrant and alive. Emily’s studio is only a few blocks from the Center for Creative Reuse, and she often makes the short walk there to hunt for inspiration and materials. [Creative Reuse's] collection of overlooked treasures resonates deeply with her process and with her love of giving old paper a new story. For Emily, reuse is not just about sustainability but also about honoring the beauty of what endures, even in the smallest details. Her work is currently featured in Color Stories, a two-person exhibition with fellow collage artist Julia Toal, on view at Atithi Studios in Sharpsburg through September 13. You can follow more of her work and process on Instagram at @emily.krill or on her website www.EmilyKrill.com" #Pittsburgh #CreativeReuse #CollageArtist #ReuseArtist (fb)
