Featured Artist: Devin Johnson     

Since he was a child Devin Johnson has been taking things apart.  His parents would give him old and broken things to disassemble and explore.  His collection of odds and ends finally led him to putting things together to create wearable art and other accessories. 

Devin strives to tell a story about humanity with every piece he creates for Makeshift Accessories. He feels his artistic endeavors should be environmentally friendly and sustainable.  Devin accomplishes this goal by using a variety of recycled, salvaged, antique, and found materials from all corners of his life. As each material is a unique artifact, he chooses those that are beautiful not only for their colors and textures, but also for their historical and technological significance. These characteristics, which are often very mechanical and industrial, are brought to the surface in Devin’s work. He releases the energy of each artifact’s past life as he re-works it into the finished piece.

• Each bracelet uses found objects and is completely unique
