Colors of Life, 2025

Abstract

Artist(s): Miranda Ruiz Materials: Plastic, glass, wood This piece is a glass pane decorated with pieces of recycled plastic (laundry detergent lids, plastic placemats, a clipboard, clear plastic folders, and a plastic pencil container) to imitate the effect of stained glass and mosaic. The center of the piece is a mosaic of the before mentioned recycled plastic that creates the MD Anderson logo. The glass pane is affixed into a wooden frame with glue and is able to be hung with a metal wire. The recycled materials were sourced from the Texas Art Asylum, an art supply store that sells recycled materials to use in creative ways.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1078/thumbnail.jp
