| These industrial strength pieces by designer Tammy Roy, were created in part, or entirely of reclaimed steel and celebrate a raw, eco-inspired look. They are as tactile and beautiful as they are strong and unique-reflecting the spirit of the maker.
tammy l. roy For as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued and inspired by shape, form and unusual objects. Following a career in graphic design and working in the industry for over 10 years, my interest in metals and creating artwork peaked when when my dad taught me how to weld, and soonafter, bowls and tables started emerging from the workshop and OneEighty was born. My work in metals and wood is influenced by the clean lines of modern art and design, and ranges from furniture to recycled wall art and bowls. Most of my work derives in part or entirely from reclaimed materials. (my mom is the ultimate dumpster diver and also a recycle-based artist). Unlike most mothers and daughters, you won’t see us in the malls, but instead pulling scraps of steel from salvage yards! My mantra: stay centered with God, keep balance in your life, and use your gifts. My kids have taught me to see things from a whole new perspective–in art, and my husband has taught me to see things in a whole new perspective–in life. I consider myself fortunate to be so inspired by those around me. |
