The LOOP Show captured attention for revealing some of the most uniquely beautiful applications of recycled materials in art! Photo Journal by Ginger Van Hook

In a simply amazing display of creativity using recycled materials, artists from the LOOP SHOW curated by China Adams gained notoriety for having adapted sheer volumes of plastic, paper, cassette tape, staples, coffee filters, clothespins, dolls, color pallet papers, metal, wood,  automobile body parts, glitter and God knows what other throw away items into a cohesive vibrant exhibition of Fine Art at the Beacon Arts Building. Yes, putting together all these items would overwhelm even the truest artist among us, yet China Adams found just the right balance of artists to reveal the obsessive qualities that are possible and inherent in the art-making process. Masterfully constructed works also included work from the recently dearly departed, Inglewood Artist, Dustin Shuler, with his rendition of a Mercedez Benz, flattened like a pancake. Speaking of which, pancakes were served at the closing reception and artist talk & walk-thru January 15, 2012. When people say the Devil is in the Details, they will remember the LOOP SHOW, for sure! --Ginger Van Hook©2012

also the Co-curator of "THE CHAIN LETTER" Show
with Christian Cummings in the summer of  2011
(A show that created quite a stir off the 10 freeway exit to Cloverfield,  in Santa Monica
 causing street congestion due to over 1600 artists coming to drop off work at Shoshana Wayne Gallery
in the Bergamot Station.)
