Olanrewaju (Lanré) Tejuoso talks of his sculptural community project

Lanré, who is Yoruba, works with recycled materials and his art communicates a message about our fragile globe being overwhelmed by waste. His sculptures are labor intensive, and here in Philadelphia he worked with North Philadelphia community members in "sewing circles" to fabricate the individual components (he refers to them as "bricks" to build a skyscraper) that will go into his big new sculpture, which debuts on Friday. The piece is a memorial to loss, which is experienced in a personal way by all.
