SALVAGE
Conversations with artists who use repurposed materials in their art practice.
SALVAGE is a podcast that celebrates creativity and sustainability through conversations with artists who turn discarded materials into powerful works of art. Each episode dives into their stories, techniques, and the deeper messages behind their work, showing how art can transform waste into beauty and inspire action against overconsumption and wastefulness.
It’s a space for exploring how creativity and mindfulness can help us reimagine our relationship with the planet—one repurposed piece at a time.

SALVAGE
Conversation with Kim Thomas
Please enjoy my conversation with Kim Thomas. Kim’s works are a visual discussion around climate change, nature, and our insatiable consumer culture. As an intersection between all three issues, found single-use plastics are often used as a key material in her artwork. In manipulating debris through a variety of media — primarily sculpture, installation, and printmaking — Kim presents the viewer with an everyday object in an unexpected, new form.
