Where I belong...in a dumpster!: expounding Post Modern Trash Theory to people from AK Uni - audio & video of the interview following shortly on mywebsite & Youtube channel... On Thursday 13th August I will be talking with environmental guru Tim Lynch on GreenPlanet FM 104.6: "How Joe Six-Pack Can Help Save the World"...available later on podcast from www.greenplanetfm.com

I found these guys on the web... www.computerrecycling.co.nz/e-day.html Looks good - I will approach them about an e-collection day here in Browns Bay, & see if they are interested in some artwork to promote their business...

These gals have dresses made from printed strips of plastic tape about 18in [46cm] wide - what a great idea for recycled wearable art!!

Last week there were high seas & strong winds which washed lots of plastic rubbish onto the beach here at Browns Bay. I took my blue bucket & filled it in less than ten minutes!

Today I finished five robots made from biscuit, sweet, & tea tins. They all have a light as one of their arms. Four have gone to the Salvation Army Store in Browns Bay - where they are stocking some of my work. The fifth one will be part of a prize in a promotion for the SPCA Op Shop - watch this space for details.

Today I made contact with the guys from e-waste, & took some pix - here are some motherboards in a bin.

AT Queen's Birthday Weekend I spoke at a seminar ["Craft Plus"] on contemporary craft, at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery. My talk was entitled "From Barbie to Buddha, Paradise Regained - How Recycled Art Can Save the World". Other speakers included Paul Kayser from www.cleverbarsards.com & Esther Lamb from www.toggle.com The Gallery also held a recycled art exhibition - & all my works sold!!..see the red dots below. ...for the text of my talk see http://www.craftplus.blogspot.com
