'TRASH-y manifesto'

2019
TRASH .... 

​is everywhere.
its the stuff you throw away 
or 
no longer want.
We are drowning under piles of it 
it's wrapped around the stuff we buy to eat 
or
things that we broke
stopped wearing
or even 
bought and never ever used

​It ends up in ….
landfill
charity shops
hedges
or washed up on a beach.

Its ….
ugly
wasteful
pollutes our lives
is …. 
depressing
and will out-live us 
and hang around us for millions of years

​BUT
it can also be …. 
beautiful
ridiculous
unique
fun
quirky
bonkers
or
it can even make us laugh.
It can evoke fond memories 
of 
the finding
receiving
giving
and 
collecting of it

It can empower us
and
make us want to question 
both our own 
and 
others consumerism.

When combined with things that have a history …. 
and their own unique stories ….
then it can become as precious as a diamond

then 

TRASH ….

becomes priceless.
