Spotlight: Derick Melander
FBR regularly donates to 9 local charities, one of which - Wearable Collections - has provided materials for local artist Derick Melander’s incredible art installations. In 2009, community volunteers helped the artist to create “Into The Fold”, a monumental sculpture from 3,615 pounds of second hand clothing, at Brooklyn’s Borough Hall. Why 3,615 pounds? That’s the amount of textile waste created by New Yorkers every 5 minutes. Your work is inspiring Derick, we love it! Check out a photo of another one of Derick’s pieces, “Silence”…
