Found Object. Upcycled. Treasures Bound for the Dump.
There’s an added delight to dumpster diving when the things headed to the dump become a viable art centric project and the project ends up looking like a lovely little shack for writers visiting in the summer, or hosting wwoofers needing a respite from Art Farm duties.
Traveling to Slipper Island while wwoofing was a highlite of making a little elbow grease and some paint go a long way towards transformation. Slap on some sun screen and see what happens. Here’s a bit of where it all went.
Culturally this exchange of barter is alive and well, it’s the backbone of how many of my own projects get done seasonally creatives that arrive at art farm fennville to hone a new outlook, to learn and to share
My own adventures in wwoofing have taught me how digging through other peoples’ farm projects on another continent have a similar charm- mixing leftover paints and using stencils with sponged paint the dive shack seen below is got a bit of charm.
Where ever I go-
My Art du Jour pop-up series of create with junk has found a home in Tairua, NZ at least for the month of February. Nice to tie in with the creative community here on the Coromandel and lend some creative juju to whatever is on the daily duJour of art project.
Thank you to the Pepe Reserve Tairua hosting the Saturday sandy stretch workshops while I’m here..
