“Valentine Customs Pack Rat” (artwork above: copyright Steven Valentine 2012)
The piece of artwork shown above, created by Steven Valentine, was inspired by the habits of the artist himself and as well as people he knows. In a way, it is purposely making light of the habits of collecting and hoarding. This example shows the use of art as a type of personal therapy and also as a means of bringing awareness to the situation.
