Dear Your Highness.

I suggest that you avoid reality. A soothing trash bath is prescribed.

I am all for thinking hard, HilgART. And here I am, doing just that because, after having rallied the troops, I cannot but respond, although I have no idea what I am going to tell you. Part of TrashPo is going about Life picking up rubbish from the streets, the market place, one's neighbours dustbins. Then you organize it in a sort of composition but not too composed, the more decomposed the better really, having regard to the sensitive nose of the post persons.

The traditional method of collage is highly suitable to the creation of TrashPo. What is most important is that the final piece has to have not, or does not have to have, even, Sense. Or make it either. Following these simple and clear rules you can make plastic art, write poetry, songs, opera, create sculptures or burn your toast. 

TrashPo was created by Diane as part of DKult, The Cult you can Trash, with De Villo Sloane as one its principal followers. I am only a lowly lay follower. And probably got all I have hereby told you quite wrong. Do what I do; make it up as you go along. Enjoy!

(Wow! I needed this; I have been having too many reality issues lately)

How would you folks "define" Trashpo? In what way(s) is it distinct from Found Art and from using discarded materials (eg magazines, newspapers, and random scraps of paper) in, say, collages? Or am I thinking too hard?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on July 18, 2019 at 6:28am

OOOOH! this is bad, no comments since last year. We cannnot let this group go, rally the troops, let's trash. Adelante!

For good or trash, you have inspired me, Finn. 2019 shall be the Year of Trashpo in the United Queendom, which by the way is in turmoil: General Marth is planning a revolution.
