A broken CD isn't much good to anyone. Unless you're Sean Avery that is. Because while most of us would just throw them in the trash, the South Africa-born, Australia-based artist turns them into various dazzling animal sculptures.

Artist 8: Barbara Franc; Two Hares 'sitting awhile'; Date Unknown; 76cm H x 30cm W x 35cm D; Mixed Media - Franc creates mixed media animal sculptures. They are created with a wire frame and found parts. This particular sculpture was created with parts of an old singer sewing machine. Looking at the sculptures, the viewer may see the variety of recycled scraps used. This allows the artist to create expressive poses of each animal.
