Trash & creative reimagining

In my art, I reimagine trash, particularly materials that account for about 65% of landfill waste: plastic, glass, paper, textiles, rubber, wood, and metals. With no major intention, other than allowing the process of creativity run its course, I mix these substances into my paint, put them over my paint, or under my paint.

I recognize my miniscule place in the world. Am I really making a dent in the millions of tons of trash that sit in landfills simply by making a piece of art with used dryer sheets or expired sunscreen? Let’s reimagine our overwhelm, lean into the positive opportunities, and find ways to take action (like making art with trash).
