Artistic Process
As a sustainable artist, Melody Angeles’ creative journey begins with a deep commitment to the environment and a passion for transforming discarded materials into unique works of art. Melody believes in the power of repurposing and the beauty that can be found in what others might consider waste.
Sourcing Materials
The materials used come from a variety of sources, each with its own story and potential - treasures often found in discarded items, whether it's from local thrift stores, garage sales, or even items left on the curb.
Additionally, platforms like FB Marketplace & Craigslist become regular sources where second life are given to items that would otherwise end up in landfills
The Creative Process
Once the materials are gathered, the real magic begins - carefully examining each piece, considering its history and potential. Melody Angeles’ studio is a space where creativity flows freely, and the materials guide Melody’s artistic vision. Whether it's an old piece of furniture, scraps of fabric, or broken electronics, endless possibilities are seen in every item.
Crafting with Purpose
Every piece created is a statement against the fast fashion trends that contribute to environmental degradation. Melody is dedicated to crafting art that not only showcases her creativity but also raises awareness about the importance of sustainability. By using discarded materials, Melody aims to challenge the throwaway culture and inspire others to see the value in repurposing.
Beyond Art
Melody Angeles’ work extends beyond traditional art pieces. Melody also designs and creates unique furniture items, blending functionality with artistic expression. Additionally, Melody offers interior design services, transforming spaces with sustainable and repurposed materials to create environments that are both beautiful and eco-friendly.
A Commitment to Change
Melody’s work is more than just art; it's a commitment to making a positive impact on the planet with a hope that through her creations, she can inspire others to think differently about waste and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. Together, we can all make a difference, one piece of art at a time.
