Gleaning at the City Dump #92

8/21/2012

Sarah and I got to glean together again at the dump.  We had another interesting day of finding some unusual kinds of things.  The advantage of having another artist there and working together...we get to talk about our possible ideas and plans for the treasures that we are finding in the trash!


Sarah found an old (and disgustingly dirty) bath towel.  I'm not sure how she's going to use it.

I found a box filled with this beautifully compressed raffia (excelsior).  I thought it had great potential (for Sarah)...I talked her into taking it.  I'm eager to see if she will have this piece in our group show on Sept. 14.

I also talked her into taking this old (new condition) electric typewriter.  We both hated seeing this low tech relic go to the landfill.

I've brought home interesting old lightbulbs in the past, thinking that the would surely be useful in some of my work.  I turned up another box of smaller bulbs, and ended up leaving them for someone else, although I don't think any of the other artists will want them either.
