GREEN Handbags
Hong Kong Willie. The name of the artist. In 1958 his mother took
Hong Kong Willie to an art class. The name started then. An art teacher
when doing crafts out of Gerber baby bottles, made a statement, in Hong
Kong reuse was common. At that time he thought this was very
interesting. His father had low-land, at that time landfills were
common also. The county had told Hong Kong Willie’s father, it was
safe, but as we now know this was not so. Something can come from bad
to be good. Hong Kong Willie the name came from that art teacher
impressing on that young mind that objects made for one use could be
for many other uses. Hong Kong for the neat concept. Willie for an
American name. So for many years Hong Kong Willie had a life of reuse.
Hong Kong Willie saw forms in a different light, His life now was
meaningful, knowing this was and would be his life. Art made from found
objects, making less of a footprint on this world. Art and art
teachers, HOW IMPORTANT. For the ones that have, and the ones who have
not. Media can be found. Now 50 years later, we know now being green is
important. We need to look at this very carefully. Our children and our
world need a different understanding. Objects can be used in many
different ways. Hong Kong Willie the tons of objects in his life that
have been used, without much change, So for that art teacher what she
did for my life. Thank You. I still have the Gerber baby bottle till
this day. Hong Kong Willie.
Hong Kong Willie Key West Artist and Tampa Tourist Attraction. Hong
Kong Willie: Group of artists telling how to use objects for many
different purposes. Looking outside of the box, learning to find
solutions in a positive way. Complaining without a solution is like
trying to wake a dead man. Nothing is going to happen. The solution to
leaving less of a foot print on this earth is left to each one of us.
Finding the positive side and focusing positive energy is change for
the good. Hong Kong Willie has for many years looked outside of the
box. Take a look at the other story told by University of South Florida
on ways to change and the social impact we all can make. To live and
help and not complain and spend that energy to leave less of a foot
print is a good thing.
