Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"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 Nancy Bell Scott on March 28, 2021 at 7:35pm: Loose leaf book pages by Diane below are fantastic. What is "scratch paper," a new term I've missed by being ungrouped lately? Here's a gorgeous piece by Mail Art Martha that the scanner didn't do justice to, as usual:

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 14, 2021 at 6:42am: Great Trashaiku!

It is interesting, and posibly a subject for deep philosophical analysis, how Trashpo links and overlaps with so many other art forms. Collage, concrete poesy, assemic writing and much more.

Comment by DianeKeys on March 12, 2021 at 4:21pm: Jessica Manack sent me a huge envelope stuffed with a multitude of Japanese product packaging. Not sure how she has access to so much in PA, but I made this Trashaiku from it

Comment by DianeKeys on March 7, 2021 at 6:52pm: Bring recyclable trash offerings and be renewed, regenerated, revitalized and blessed ! Instant germmunity. May your glue supply never run low

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 7, 2021 at 12:51pm: The Face is active again. I thought I had thrown it away but I found it lurking in the same corner. You may be right, it can be a benevolent diety manifesting her powers of recycling constantly.

To think that in years to come there will be pilgrimages to my studio corner!

May the Trash be with you.

Comment by DianeKeys on March 6, 2021 at 3:32pm: Divinely inspired trashpo? Dean calls found objects mail art omens, so that implies some kind of trashpo dieties are engaged in the seemingly random swirl of garbage we encounter. Trashface appears benevolent, so I think our recycling methods are looked upon favorably. I like how ypy 'quarantined' it. Saw a guy yesterday using hand sanitizer on his rubber gloved hands. He would NOT be a good candidate for Dkult.
