| - Modern decor that would otherwise be languishing within a landfill or floating garbage barge -  |
In a sort of salute to tonight’s premiere of Bravo's Project Runway — because, hey, any “reality TV” rewarding creativity, inclusivity, AND cattiness is worth an audience — I offer my own attempt at the requisite "Unconventional Materials Challenge" by way of Abstract Expressionism or, more accurately, Trash Art. |
The presented 40 in. x 16 in. work is comprised of spray paint, acrylic tube paint, shattered headlight/taillight covers from auto crashes collected along Main Street (Route One) tissue paper, faded terrycloth wash towel, sequins, glitter, tiny triangles cut from sparkle holiday wreath bow (faded from red to yellow), torn satin, strand of purple foil wrapping paper, remnants of Amazon.com fabric gift satchel, netted produce pouches (shallots, clementine oranges, red dwarf potatoes), cellophane covering from Valentine’s Day chocolate box, red plastic hazardous waste bag, deconstructed powder pink adult diaper, hot glue, Mod Podge adhesive sealant, decades-old congealed turpentine, sparkle silver washi tape fused to side frames with cardboard reinforcement on back side, sprayed a dusty lavender, due to this being initially two separate canvases connected end-to-end.
