Statue of Liberty

Piece description from the artist

This collage of the Statue of Liberty has been made from used and expired NYC subway tickets. In preparation for creating the art, Nina Boesch uses scissors to cut the tickets into small pieces. She then sorts all the pieces by color and begins to glue down the colorful pieces onto canvas. Some of Nina Boesch's collages contain about 10,000 pieces of MetroCards!
