Benjamin Bullins’ repurposed works

“The Benjamin Collection focuses on taking found objects and repurposing them into fine art, functional designs and jewelry. I have been salvaging materials for several years now, and I have a wide array of unique materials that can be used for projects. All of my designs are thoughtfully created and fabricated, and my attention to detail can be seen throughout every piece. Many people now use me as their recycling source, and they bring me all kinds of materials that would usually end up in the dump. I use these materials in my artwork, getting creative and preserving history.” – As told to Kayla Randall
