Jerry Kott
Recycled Bottle Art
Hellertown , PA

Rebuild, redefine, relive, reinvent, recycle are all part of the Series Jerry calls RE. He takes empty wine bottles, cuts them apart, polishs the edges, frosts the glass (inside and out} and reassemble them into hybrid bottles of various shapes, sizes, colors and uses. These "bottleforms" are beautiful pieces of art.
