Gleaning at the City Dump #16

5/19/2012

All five artists working with this art grant (gleaning from the city dump) are required to  create at least ten pieces by September.  I have just completed another new piece using materials that I've found after some diligent digging the dump:

1. an odd piece of metal (cogs and wheels) that came out of the player piano

2. wooden framing boards (from IKEA) that were used underneath a platform bed (designed to hold the mattress in place)

3. old black and white (a few color) snapshots (from the 60's maybe)

Picture

4. pages from one of the vintage encyclopedias that I found on my first day in the bay of the Transfer Station...I tore out all the plates...old maps, illustrations, etc. for use in other projects

Picture

5. alcohol dye (I make my own,using Rit liquid dye and rubbing alcohol...easy to mix, much cheaper than the stuff you buy...this is the only thing, besides some glue and a few screws that I didn't find at the dump)

Picture

The completed piece...about 18 inches long, 5 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches deep.  The top photo compartments are covered with glass (also from the dump):
