Trash Painting #15
2025
Waste acrylic and glitter glue on reclaimed wood panel
In my series 'Trash Paintings', I only use materials left over from other art projects—unused acrylic paint lingering on the palette, sheets of half-dried glue from the morning after a papier-mache session, snippets of cardboard picked off the floor. Creating with waste emboldens me to explore textures and compositions I'm scared will be ugly. What's the worst that could happen? It's already trash. This trash painting uses leftover paint from a swatch test and glitter glue that arrived half-dried because the seal was broken.
