I took a big load of interesting "stuff" to SCRAP (our local recycling store) that I had found while gleaning at the city dump during my six months art residency. I had a number of things that I knew I'd probably never use, and wanted them out of my studio (garage)...especially all those new golf clubs that I'd found in August (they were all missing the club part). SCRAP was glad to get everything...they sell these kinds of things to artists (and others) quite cheaply. I had made the decision to drop off everything at their "donation door" and then just leave (quickly) without going into the store to be tempted to find and purchase any more discards that I might want to bring home with me. Needless to say, it didn't exactly happen that way. I decided that since I was there, I might as well go in and have a quick look. That was a good decision as I found quite the treasure...a scrapbook filled with old pages torn out of old movie star magazines from the 1940's...two dollars for the whole thing! These wonderful old images have great collage (and assemblage) possibilities. Here's a sampling of the more than two hundred images stuffed into plastic sleeves in this scrapbook (sorry about the poor photography...these are just quick snapshots):
