Community Trash

Community Trash, 2024-ongoing

Mixed media art waste from friends and community members (including watercolor, acrylic, fabric paint, spray paint, PVA glue, paper, resin, and wood) on previously used canvases

The ‘Community Trash’ series is an extension of my series ‘Trash Paintings‘. For Community Trash, I collect discarded or unwanted materials from friends, family, and community members: too-small offcuts and scraps, dried-out or contaminated paint, canvases lumpy with failed attempts, boxes laden with the dust and guilt of abandoned hobbies. Repurposing this creative trash reduces both my effect on the climate and the clutter in my friends’ homes.
