Metro Card Collages

In 2001, after being introduced to the NYC subway system, Boesch became inspired by subway riders who just dropped their used and expired MetroCards in the subway stations. She thought of an artistic challenge that would not only clean up the platforms but also bring new life to an everyday object most consider trash. She started repurposing the old disposed tickets she found and turned them into collages. Since then, her art venture has massively grown in popularity with a global following of art collectors all over the world.( http://www.metrocardcollages.com/store/r2d2 )(http://www.metrocardcollages.com/past/)
