Dan Kiesecker’s (a.k.a. Dan Deranged) work is imaginative, quirky, undeniably creative, and complete trash. No, that’s not a metaphor or an insult; he makes all of his figurines and wall hangings from recyclable or thrown away materials. Where most just see garbage, Kiesecker sees an opportunity to create something that both delights the viewer and maybe makes them even think twice about how much waste they create. Kiesecker took time out from his schedule as a full-time college student to explain his inventive process.
