I believe you. You don't seem like a bigtime threatener to me. :--}

Oh I wasn't threatening! Just URGING!

Wow. That's going on my wall, Diane!!!

Though KDJ sounds right to send me to the ZALOP group.

Both can be true, I'll figure it out.

Nancy, I think it only becomes trashpo when and if you decide it is 'reject art' as Cheryl says. Until then it is just PO I guess. Or even if you don't out and out reject it and just think to yourself"This is terrible, this is trash," then it becomes trashpo. If you crumple it up and throw it out the window and someone finds it, it becomes their found object-which is the same as trash only subjective. If they see no value in it, then it is just litter. If they make it into mail art and send it, then it becomes trashpo. If they send it as is, without altering it at all, then it becomes plagiarism. If they take it and deconstruct and reconstruct it, it becomes recycled art, then eventually it ends up as  just trash--with no other future than the landfill.

Yah, KDJ, that makes sense, that's good.  Oh but what about the in-between place? It's not thrown away, it's not sent to someone, it's just sitting in a current sketchbook. And it won't be thrown or sent away. ??? Then it must be neither and I'm pondering in the wrong group, ha.

too funny KDJ, so what you're saying is trash + a stamp = trashpo

Is stuff in our sketchbooks, our own attempts at art rejected by ourselves -- is that trash, or is it trashpo?
