Single Item Art Auction


Most of us have heard it said that there is a slim line between genius and insanity, between creativity and crime. Well, here's proof. Kerry DuPont, a former resident of the State of Kentucky Prison System has created this amazing piece of molded paper art out of toilet paper! Mr. DuPont developed his paper making technique while incarcerated. Art supplies inside prisons are, to say the least, limited, so DuPont worked with what was available - toilet paper. Creating sheets of hand made paper for small art projects, he expanded his idea upon his release and developed the molding process used in this piece. The 4' piece shown above is being offered in a limited auction to benefit Luther Luckett Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Minimum bid is $399.00. Bids opened at 3:00 p.m. EST on July 7th and will close on July 10th at 5:00 p.m. EST. (Buyer pays shipping in addition to bid price). Bids may be submitted to: niki.hendricks@insightbb.com

Current high bid: $ (no bids received at this time).
