RECYCLETASTIC

Recycletastic @recycletastic189enmore are Deby and Alan. Together they create upcycled art, jewellery and homeware designs from preloved, discarded and found items. They're passionate about feminism, sustainability, repurposing and recreating narratives for familiar objects that have become devalued by time and over consumption. They love trawling through op shops and tip shops, finding treasures waiting to be reimagined and reloved. 

Deby uses vintage books, patterns, text and images to create inclusive, feminist collage artworks that challenge and reject the patriarchal narrative. Deconstructing stereotypes, gender assumptions, misogyny and patriarchal attitudes through reframing these destructive narratives. Deby is ardently passionate about the therapeutic act of cutting sexist and misogynist vintage text, especially Mills and Boon and Disney fairy tales.

Alan uses retro pieces including dolls, toys, vinyl, kitchenware, snowboards, musical instruments to create wall art, assemblage sculpture, jewellery, skateboards, homewares, clocks, lights and quirky things that connect with nostalgic memories of fun while deconstructing gender stereotypes and reimagining purpose.
