ABOUT “THE UPCYCLED GARDEN”

Art Farm Iowa is proud to present The Upcycled Garden, a new exhibition from artist Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert. Known for his playful yet thought-provoking explorations of material, transformation, and imagination, Seifert brings his distinctive vision to the Midwest with a series of works that blur the line between art, invention, and ecological storytelling.

The Upcycled Garden transforms discarded and everyday objects into a living ecosystem of creativity. Plastic bottles, paper goods, scrap wood, and found materials are reimagined as whimsical plants, hybrid creatures, and surreal botanical forms. Each piece invites viewers to see the overlooked and forgotten as fertile ground for beauty, humor and resilience.

ABOUT DANIEL

Seifert’s practice balances childlike wonder with a sharp awareness of environmental fragility. His “garden’ is not just an installation but also a metaphor: a reminder that renewal and growth can emerge from what we cast aside. At once playful and profound, The Upcycled Garden reflects Art Farm Iowa’s mission of bringing art, sustainability, and community together in unexpected and engaging ways.

Join us at Art Farm Iowa to experience this immersive exhibition, where imagination flourishes among repurposed materials and where creativity itself becomes a form of ecological care.
