Scrap Paper Test 5

Trashed Earth test part 5. In an attempt to create with second hand materials, in this case packing paper, I created this series using paper as garb- exploring texture and form centered around human form. As humans, we have the gift and power of creation from anything. This work reminds us we have the power to create any world we want, a world of waste and pollution, or a world of sustained creation and beauty. Big thanks to my team, I could not have done this without them.

Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S. Americans use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680 pounds per person. The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail. - Univ. Of S. Indiana.

Alum. Cans Test 1

This piece is made from used alum. cans, pressed into a cube. A preliminary test in form and material.

More than one million tons of aluminum containers and packaging (soda cans, TV dinner trays, aluminum foil) are thrown away each year. Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet. Last year, approximately 36 billion aluminum cans were landfilled. - LeHIGH County.
