Bobby Hansson creates art from cans and other cast-offs.
Since 1955, Bobby Hansson, a noted craftsman and crafts photographer, has developed sculpture, furniture and musical instruments from found materials. Hansson initially used cast-offs because they were free, but he soon discovered a unique ability to look at an object and see something else in it. His particular talent for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary is displayed in his popular book The Fine Art of the Tin Can: Techniques and Inspirations.
Bobby was featured in the Philadelphia City Paper article "A Joyful Noyes", about the exhibition ReCreation/Recreation: Fun with Found Objects. The exhibition ran at the Noyes Museum in Oceanville, New Jersey, last year.
