This piece arrived in a beautiful box. She says she found this crushed can tucked inside a tree. I think she must have sanded this down to get the sheen on it that does make it look lunar. It's mounted on a 5 by 7 or so posterboard and looks to be leaping out. I really love this thank you sooo much Lisa! very elegant trashpo--so classy I think it's more of  trachic

It's not good news. It might even be a tragedy. What we need now is a renewed sense of urgency in the trashpo leadership so that trashpo doesn't become contraband.

This is apickle: Mr. Canard has been awarded a Trash Po-litzer Prize. Well, I'm kinda busy. Best of luck to y'all!

I fear discord in the eternal network. I don't see that as being good news from Mr. Canard. You know, when DK started the whole roadkill thing, she had a split with another historic luminary: Rain Rein Nevermind. He wasn't thrilled about roadkill as being considered part of mail-art recycling. "Why can't we all just get along?"

Richard Canard wrote on a card yesterday (among other things): "The mail artist who presents his trash to others values nothing."  Is this ominous too?

Virginal trash. The purity of trash. Naked trash - this is taking an ominous turn.

I don't plan to interrogate it once it gets here. What you've written is damning enough.

You are something else. It pays to wish out loud. Is mine a virgin too? Never mind, I don't care, love is love. Thank you Lisa, founder of in-situ trashpo with the wits to shoot it!

In-situ Trashpo, SB. That's great. This is the kind of piece where I think John Bennett would find a syntax in the natural arrangement of the objects. He seemed to suggest that a lot in the asemic group with some of his postings.

Wow--Amazing how beautiful it is naturally like a lotus flower. Virgin UF (trashp) O

I'm still lobbying for the idea this blog has created a new Trashpo category: UFOs - Unidentified Found Objects. From time to time, people must pick up things and you don't know where they were made or what they were used for. Please add this to your lexicon of mail-art terms!
