One Person’s Trash
One Person’s Trash is another person’s art? Sure.
Walking a few days ago, I happened across the strangest trash. It was a skeleton, looking charred, with a single plastic eyeball staring out, sideways across a box that held part of a fake Xmas tree then an older wired keyboard.
Wall plaster, display boxes, a crate for a child car seat, there was too much happening, and subject to interpretation. AstroTurf and a used doormat.
I paused to take a picture, having lost the art of quotidian images, subsumed by the detritus of digital lifestyles.
It just spoke to me as a confluence of imagery nothing belonging to each other, yet tragically comical in the collection. Or comically tragic?
