On February 15, 2016, I read this photo caption in the New York Times “Recology, San Francisco’s main recycling plant collects 100 tons of cardboard every day.” I had already started collecting plastic, cardboard, and wax paper that surrounds the food which I buy at the grocery store. We shop online and I am surrounded by packaging. How do I dispose of this? Which bin? Everything is sorted by material here.
I started making drawings (rubbings) with my trash collection and was thinking about submitting my artwork to Franconia Sculpture Park‘s 20th anniversary alumni exhibition in Minneapolis, MN. I began to draw a lot, and in February made this book to send to the park. The Trashquilt evolved from this work.
