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."

Diane's squashed can from Helen reminded me of this trashpo that's been on the wall here for two years. Just fell in love with it, had to give it a fancy home. Don't you love parking lots. (Bad scan):

You are lucky, then, Erni ~ I have never seen one in real life. Nice photos, thanks.
Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 7, 2011 at 6:09pm
Great trashpo! Diane, you are a riot, photographing them in the road. Getting trash all the way from Australia, now that is cool. I admit, I sulk also on bad mail-art days. Don't know yet about today ...

Received this fantastic Trashpo from Helen Amyes, Judith Heartsong, and KDJ. I thought it only appropriate to photograph them in their natural environment-the road. These trashpo members are very litterate!!! Thank you for making it a great mail art day. I sulk when it is not.

Here is her wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Nevelson

If you google her via "images," many photos of her walls and other sculptures come up.

I'd never heard of him, Erni, but just read your wiki link. Very interesting artist and person -- an original! I envy his having an extra house to use for art projects. Then we could all work big instead of small, although small has always appealed to me.

Diane's comment got me to thinking about Louise Nevelson and her compartment-style wall installations, which I love. You know her, yes?

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 7, 2011 at 3:14am
Ready-made waste, that gets scary if you think and think along that line. But German air, I'd take it! Where there aren't natural compartments in my abode and studio, Diane, I create them without even planning. It just happens, like the sun rises each morning.

sorry about the plumbing Kat-I agree the pic is cool
Comment by DKeys on September 6, 2011 at 11:56pm

Erni sent me this great Trashpo. The trashpo product line is evolving

Nancy, I love your glass pieces very haunted house intrigue feeling. I'm now picturing your house with all these hidden compartments

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on September 6, 2011 at 4:43pm

It's really too bad about your broken water pipes, Katerina! And yet, your photo is beautiful, why is that? Excellent trashpo? The tiles are very nice, I love them. But sorry about your pipes, honest.

Erni, yes, I have seen mirror pieces on clothing of the countries you mention and think they are beautiful. Hmm, more thoughts for broken mirrors are coming ...
