Scavenging in Spain

 

I'm revisiting my earlier pledge to use found materials as often as possible and am at risk of being seen as an eccentric bag lady as I collect trash and other goodies in this village of Mojacar. There are several crumbling old ruins that make for enthusiastic treasure hunting, and I have begun to combine various found objects and images into some cohesive whole. I suspect the town has become accustomed to the peculiar behavior of the residents of Fundacion Valparaiso, considering about 80 artists and writers visit this residency every year.

More found metal bits combined with an image of the Cathedral of the Black Madonna. Sacred, profane.
