Let's Talk Trash is the 19th work in my series Keep It Out of the Landfill. These works are inspired by my desire to encourage the viewer to think about the trash they create daily. Using simple items such as packing materials, plastic produce bags from the market, plastic kcup parts, discarded yarns and obsolete fabric samples, I coil and weave then combine with acrylic pigment and mount on a stretched canvas. In this work I have used a previously painted canvas, covering it over, to create a completely new piece. It is my desire to create a cohesive composition intended to intrigue and provoke thought. How much trash do you create? Can you do something else with your trash rather than throw it away? Can you encourage others to pay attention to the what goes into the landfill? Can you recycle, upcycle, and buy items made from recycled materials? Let's Talk Trash.
