These two pieces are Dana Rousan’s approach to repurposing ‘forgotten’ artworks. She converts two of her previous works “Michael J. Fox” and “Who’s in Power?” into design pieces by adding them to second-hand furniture parts. This transformation, with added paint and funky design, adds personality and spirit to the finished works.

Giving functionality to the mixed media artworks, instead of remaining static objects, allows them to become part of the surrounding. They have a role and reason to exist, not only esthetically but functionally, inviting people to interact with them in a contemporary spirit.
