Second Cycle
By Amarillo Magazine
Waste not, want not; one man’s trash is another man’s treasure – these proverbs are what come to mind after seeing Krystal O’Mara’s work.
Krystal has an eye for green design; when she spots a bicycle wasting away in a scrap yard, she conjures up a coffee table fashioned out of rims or a light made from spokes and hubs.
When she stumbles upon forgotten farm equipment corroding in an unused barn, she imagines wall art forged from plow discs or a stool constructed from a pitch fork.
When a tree dies and its wood is left to decompose, she reclaims it, allowing the tree to live on in the form of furniture or home décor. For the 30-year-old, self-described idealist, her message is clear and simple: The best things in life are free.
