The Artistry of the Chido Gross Family

"I make cool stuff out of junk"
​
I am an American born artist working in assemblage. I take discarded items and give them new life by turning them into on-of-a-kind pieces of art.
​
I work with a wide range of materials, that included but is not limited to: found objects, discarded items, fabrics, wire and various mediums, to construct unexpected and visually striking sculptures.
​
I am inspired by the potential of found objects and discarded items, what some people may consider junk, and the challenge of combining them into something beautiful.
