"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Lynn Radford on August 16, 2012 at 3:39pm: Nice! :D

Comment by DKeys on August 16, 2012 at 3:36pm: a first from Lesley? trashpo? she has made an elegant piece and always sends me fantastic bits of South African trash-there is even a bit on the envelope!

Comment by DKeys on August 16, 2012 at 3:34pm: Fabulous Haptic Trashpo piece from Susanna Lakner. The backing appears to be corrugated cardboard with a wave in it and layers masterfully with plastic bag. I have no idea how she has done this but it is a gem for the show. Also received trashpo from Shaman Dew Drop, Neil Gordon. His work reminds me of that orange juice commercial-his is trashpo "simply unfooled around with" he lets the trash finds speak for themselves. they don't need embellishment!!
