Just stumbled upon SQUARES by artist / designer Frederic Terral. Composed of 1" square tiles from 16 discarded decks of cards from various Las Vegas Casinos. From the site:
SQUARES is an experiment in patience. The arduous, meticulous and deliberate placement of little square pieces is both therapeutic and grueling. It is these contrasting forces that create the allure.
Existing magazines, maps, catalogs, and all other paper goods destined for recycle bins or landfills can now live on beyond their creators' intent. What once was someone’s clutter or litter becomes "art" to another. Each square represents a singular idea. Collectively these squares take on new meaning. They become the building blocks for narratives within their gazer’s imagination.
Look for more SQUARES through out the year(s).
You can purchase it for a mere $800. Pocket change. Check it out: http://www.rightbrainterrain.com/squares.html
