Telling Stories In Our World
















I love when art meets trash, well you may call it trash, I will call it one of my favorite Italian words, scarti. Anyway, a convergence of castoffs and "collectibles" including cardboard lunch containers from a local school, gator board scraps and an assortment of 9" x12" art masters prints were mixed up by kids at the Mecca Public Library. Throw in some of last year's Christmas cards and yarn fragments, and they were well on their way to the rebirth and reuse of scrap.


As part of the library's summer reading program, I was invited to participate in their One World, Many Stories theme. The kids, of all ages, were encouraged to cut, rip and glue to create a collage that told a story. Take a look at their stories!
