My favorite example of material alchemy is by the artist Tim Hawkinson. He is really able to make beautiful art out of materials that are useless and even disgusting. His sculptures made out of fingernail clippings and hair were exhibited at the Whitney Museum a few years ago. The egg was made out of fingernail clippings, hair, and superglue. The dinosaur/bird was made out of fingernails as well. And the feather was made out of the artist's own neck hair.
