I didn't think to blog about this experience until someone mentioned that I should. I've attempted blog documentation of various projects in the past and have seen them fizzle - I have an obvious problem with documentation, but I love to experiment so here we go again.
I've just begun an experiment in which I will use all the trash my family generates in the next year to make art. I've seen some art made of recyclables - and have liked some but often it's so much trashy looking craft. I'm hoping that this will inspire me to create every day. It's not easy being an artist in a world that values only those things that make money. So I'll have to get creative to keep myself creating.
I've begun to save the trash as of my birthday, May 3. I'll be forty-six when this experiment is complete. I hope, at that time, to have enough art that I'm proud of to have a show at a local gallery. We'll see how I feel about the final product.
