Clay Binkley crafts beauty from ashes…literally. Clay has rescued burned out tin roofs and barn wood to create elegantly textured tin-roof topped tables and classic, rolled picture frames. He finds art and function, combining salvaged materials like a Caterpillar skidder he and his wife found half-buried in the woods of their local property, ‘See Ruby Falls’ painted tin roof that he bought from a farmer years ago, used up guitar strings and yanked out floor joists and beams, to make sculpted mirrors, frames and functional architectural pieces. And, Clay tells the story, eloquently, on the back of every piece of his work.
