Detritus

I’ve always loved garbage and junk. Nothing icky mind you, but stuff you can see using in your art.
This gum package appealed to me because it went from looking sterile and manufactured to a conceptual art piece after the gum had been eaten and it was empty.

I wanted to use the package in a collage, but nothing seemed to come together. Since I couldn’t bring myself to throw it out, I decided to scan it and do something digital. Now that I’ve finally answered the call, I feel free to put the package in my recycling bin.
