Since 2002, Boesch has been collecting MetroCards to create her own style of recycle-art. Her MetroCard collages range from postcard-size to larger scale measuring24” x 36”. They are created from small pieces of cut-up New York CIty MetroCards that are arranged by color, giving the overall image a mosaic-like look. Most collages depict iconic images of New York such as the Statue of Liberty or the Brooklyn Bridge, and subway cars. |
