Calgary, AlbertaDecember 6,
As I venture deeper into the concept of mailart I discover areas
that suddenly appeal to me even though I have been aware of
theparticular theme for a while. Trashpo is collage that uses
primarily the stuff that would ordinarily go in the garbage. I am
rather fond ofAsian snack food - toasted seaweed, dried fish &
nuts, various candies and whatnot. The packaging is bright and
colourful and I suddenlydecided I wanted to play with the garbage.
:)
Goodness knows what the Post Offices of the world think of the
stuff artists send through the mail but one hopes they are amused.
Amajority or it probably requires hand sorting as the automated
systems usually require standard shapes so we are probably a make
work
sub-system. You are welcome, Posties of the world! :)

I received a little two picture photocopy with added colour
marker from my mailartfriend, Victor. A somewhat less than
flattering portrait of Josef Stalin, I added some linework and
decided I needed to play with the concept a some more. Fitting
nicely on alegal sized sheet Joe got a little more makeover.

Two final pieces from Victor. On the left one, Victor did the
crayon work. I did the ink, marker and collage pieces. The one on
the right Icut out the graphics from the original sheet and
attached them to a new sheet with some modifications and
comments.
