Wellesley College's Davis Museum just finished a months-long exhibit featuring work by famed African artist El Anatsui, who creates art largely from found objects (old bottle caps, etc.). Good stuff.

However, the item that most caught my eye when visiting the museum over the weekend was this great wedding dress created by a freshman at the school named Wendy Chen. She blended a vintage wedding dress with old computer parts, including keyboard keys and circuit boards. Her effort earned Chen first prize in a fashion design contest inspired by El Anatsui's artistic style.
