  • Artist/designer Andrea Kitts takes natural osteological materials, cast them in recycled aluminum from SUV rims, and creates works of art for the urban collector
    No animals were poached, bred, killed or otherwise harmed in the making of <a href="http://andreakitts.com/page_contact.html">Kromatorium</a>, a blinding collection of bones and beasts. The new series of eco-friendly art was created by Swiss-born Los Angeles-based artist and designer <a href="http://andreakitts.com/">Andrea Kitts</a>.  To create these striking sculptures, Kitts takes antlers and other osteological materials and by-products, all foraged or found, and casts them in metal made from recycled SUV rims to create one-of-a-kind art objets for the urban collector. If you are interested in seeing her pieces in person, make your way up to Torrance this weekend and check out the <a href="http://www.flagstopart.com">Flag Stop Art</a> event.
