Christopher Fennell

Christopher Fennell (born 1965 in Clearwater, Florida, United States) is an American public artist known for using recycled materials.
== Biography ==
Fennell grew up in Clearwater and worked in construction before earning a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida in 1989. He earned a master of fine arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Georgia in 2002.
== Career ==
During his time at Georgia, Fennell was inspired to build his first colossal sculpture after seeing an old barn falling down. Recycling discarded familiar objects to create organic forms, frequently in the shape of cresting waves, has become his theme. He has since built sculptures from such disparate parts as broken bicycles, old canoes, retired buses, fire ladders, used shovels, lawn mower blades and irrigation pipes.
Fennell views his site-specific installations as "redeeming" lost spaces for local residents.
