“I am drawn to things that have been discarded,” says Dayo Johnson. “I salvage these items from construction sites, city streets, and other places as I travel. I have every power tool a girl could ask for and I use them to help bring these things back to life and add them in a place of honor in my work.”

Chipped paint and old fencing, car parts, beads and springs are all an essential part of Dayo’s work. “My work is a reflection of life as I hope it to be. I see the rescued items I use in my pieces as a way to create that hope. These items are discarded as trash, no longer purposeful, but I see them as wonderful. Together, they help create a completely different picture, one of beauty and hope.”
