For more than twenty-five years, Gregory Warmack, also known as Mr. Imagination, transformed discarded, recyclable objects into works of art. Mr. Imagination was a self-taught, visionary artist who lived and worked in Chicago. He later moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then to Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Imagination’s fanciful sculptures include works carved from the sandstone created as a by-product in the steel industry as well as found objects like bottle caps, discarded paintbrushes and other refuse. “Mr. I” was well known for the workshops that he lead for children and adults where he taught participants to create their own art from found materials.
