this is my new FMP work

this is what i have found in the skip along witha box of old joinery instructions 

i started to form some kind of collarge with the found materials and this one look good but i do think that i need to move it to the floor to see it better and it is not ment to be on a table soo that is another point to why i moved it to the floor.

this is the side view  

a front view  

i have added i few more instructions on to it and it is now becoming a very male piece  















this is the side view of my sculpture ans it look very slim  

two boxes to give it hight and it has a lot omale dominated thing on it and to do with it but ialso look like there is that female side to it and i dont reli wont to go down the road of male domination soo i not that to kean about this piece. 


this is a close up view on the top of my work and it has the feel of skill not only because of the balenced pieces but also because of the old style instruction. and to think all of this was thrown out and forgotten about.

What is Art From Trash?


Art From Trash is an annual community event that encourages the reuse of discarded materials in the production of visual art. The exhibition is open to all ages and is a great opportunity for many first time and emerging artists. Art From Trash is instrumental in promoting creative reuse, and, while the exhibition is a lot of fun, there is an underlying message to use the earth’s resources wisely and to minimize the inappropriate disposal of limited resources.
The exhibition has been going as long as the Resource Work Cooperative has been operating the Resource Tip Shop, since 1995. It has been held at the Moonah Arts Centre, the Waterside Pavilion, Mawson’s Place, and for many years at the Long Gallery, Salamanca Arts Centre. Thousands of visitors, from arts aficionados to school children, have witnessed the amazing artworks over the years, and our opening nights are a feature on the Hobart sub-cultural calendar.
Art From Trash is a great platform for artists to launch themselves into the public arena. The exhibition is non-selective and for a reasonable entry fee, artists receive great exposure to a large number of the public, the arts community, and public officials, who have opened many of our exhibitions. In recent years Art From Trash has included a People’s Choice Award, a Trash Rat Youth Award, and the Mojo Wearable Art Award.

Junk Art: Definition & Meaning (easyer to read)

Throughout the 20th-century, as part of the modernist revolt against the use of traditional materials in fine art and the consequent desire to demonstrate that "art" can be made out of anything, artists have been creating sculpture, assemblage, combined paintings/sculptures and installations from an ever-widening range of unusual objects and materials. Exemplified by the 1950s work of the experimental Texan-born artist Richard Rauschenberg, the name "junk art" was first coined by the British art critic and curator Lawrence Alloway (1926-90), in 1961, to describe artworks made from scrap metal, broken-up machinery, cloth rags, timber, waste paper and other "found" materials. Traceable to early 20th-century art by Picasso, Duchamp and Schwitters, junk art has analogies in Dada, the works of Alberto Burri (1915-95) and later Arte Povera artists from Italy, Spanish artists like Antoni Tapies (b.1923), and the Californian Funk art movement. It is also seen as a sub-species of "found art", and is sometimes referred to as "trash art". Its identifying mark, however, remains the use of banal, ordinary, everyday materials
