Description:
|
Explores the urban environmental aesthetics of the Grand Rue Sculptors of Port-au-Prince and the beautifully constructed sculptures they have designed from salvaged automobile parts, rubber tires, carved wood, and other recycled materials. Through first-person accounts and fieldwork, Jana Braziel constructs an urban ecological framework for understanding these sculptures.
