Is art recyclable?

I think art can be recyclable and anyone who thinks in creative way can be such an artist. I really like Mr. Baldassari’s idea of using different materials, here he used images, photos that his sister wanted to get rid of. He was conserving them in a certain way and that way made them immortal. I think that creating recyclable art is more difficult than using raw materials as you have to use something in different way that it was already made. I am adding link  with a great example of recyclable art:

This gorilla was made out of hundreds of hangers. It is really amazing, especially the technique the author used in making the figure, which is not so small:) I think it is art as it carries a certain meaning with it.For me it is about the power of nature and human’s creative way of thinking. We will use the material matter to convey our way of understanding the world around us. Despite all the mass production of  non-organic products like plastic, which pollutes the environment, the nature always wins.
