Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and according to Melissa Glick it is everywhere, even in your trash bin.

A couple of blocks away from Conway Park in Somerville, an “art hacker” is working on one of her latest pieces as her friend’s birthday present in an open multifunctional workshop called the Artisan’s Asylum.

Melissa Glick is playing around with a piece of artwork her friend made years ago. It is a nude and athletic female body, painted with pink color and white circles. By the end of this February, this painting will be decorated with remnants from various electronic devices.
