The Lisa Spence Collection
recycled, vintage and found-object jewelry
Made in Belleville
I have long viewed recycling not merely as a lifestyle decision, but as an artistic endeavour as well.
I can’t fathom a life without bringing new life to old things. Discarded things. From the first time in the 1970s when I transformed a milk jug into a bird feeder; to when I began crafting jewelry from tire tubes, bike chains, and assorted metals; to more recently turning my focus towards re-fashioned clothing, the act of giving an object a new purpose is both fulfilling and aesthetically pleasing.
Belleville has been my residence, where I have lived and created since 1985. It is now truly my home.
