Folk Fest 2011, hosted by Slotin Folk Art, is happening this weekend, Friday 8/19 - Sunday 8/21, at the North Atlanta Trade Center. Please stop by and say hi to our dear friend & exhibitor Chris Beck. Chris focuses on recycling scrap metal - tin roofing, old signs, chicken wire, etc... and reworks their rigid shapes & sharp edges into lifelike forms, complete with soft curves and folds. His "Clothing" series is one of my favorites, check out some of his pieces below.
