Trashionistas

Trashionistas Making a Fashion Statement with Used Bike Parts and Other Found Objects

Helen Winter used to be a professional metal-smith, until It really started to get to me. I would be working with these materials and think, what did it take to get this out of the Earth? Helen hosted a trashionistas session during Edmonton Bike Month 2008, and many like-minded folks came out to play.

Edmontons Harcourt House gallery provided the venue, and our own Wendy McNeill adds her gorgeously haunting music to this video exploration of the relationship between bikes, culture and ecology.
