Landfill Art

My good friend Robin Croft sent me this link along with some notes:

Bill,

Thought you might be interested in this. I participated and one of my "wattle walls" is on the site. I made it clear to Ken Marquis, a very kind and well meaning gentleman, businessman, frameshop/gallery owner in Wilkes Barre, that my work has almost nothing to do with environmental concerns, though made from mostly recycled materials. He was inviting anyway, and I need to find meaningful exposure somewhere. Your latest "sculptural" efforts might find an outlet with this. Just passing it along.

Here's the email Robin forwarded from Ken Marquis -- check it out and if you're interested, get involved:

Hello Landfill Artists,

As a result of the global art community embracing the Landfillart Project, my life is totally consumed. I am not complaining...I am exuberant about the project and find myself going to sleep and waking up thinking about it!!

There are now almost 500 artists involved covering all fifty states of the United States & forty-six countries. Artists from Switzerland, Suriname, Azerbaijan, Tunisia, Chile and Serbia have recently signed on.

A number of artists have mentioned that they are particularly proud to be a part of the largest artist initiative ever!! Over 1,000 artists worldwide will have worked on this project of re-claiming, re-cycling and re-purposing.

"Our" website is updated at least twice weekly to add the latest completed Landfillart Projects.

If you know of a fellow professional artist that you feel could enrich and embrace our project, please feel free to pass along the website www.landfillart.org and have them contact me. Please have them mention your name for immediate credibility!

A sincere "thank you" for your participation!
