Abraham Cruzvillegas is known for his intricate and elaborate sculptures and installations made from found and scavenged materials. He often fashions useful objects out of repurposed parts and urban detritus. Cruzvillegas is inspired by the resourcefulness he has witnessed in impoverished rural and urban areas, where people build houses and necessary objects out of recycled materials such as cars and bottles.
