Trash Art by Stuart Haygarth

Artist Stuart Haygarth turns trash into treasure. In his new show at Haunch of Venison, pieces of debris scavenged from regular trips to flea markets, beaches and car boot sales, his found objects are meticulously sorted and graded by color and material and his resulting work invests seemingly banal, overlooked objects with a startling new significance, recalling the hidden stories and emotions they once held.
