Ashes to ashes, Dust to... Chairs?

One cannot create or destroy matter. Knowing this, one must learn to manipulate what matter he has to maximize its potential.

that's recycling, not art.
not that i'm against it, but a little too utilitarian to put in the MoMA.

That's gross. Most household dust is made up of dead skin and hari. So really, after a long time of sucking up the dust in your house and filling your chair with it, you'll end up sitting on yourself. Ew.

Beth, that's gross. But on the other hand you could eventually, gradually make another chair out of the stuff you vacuum out of the corners and folds of the first. Then you could sit on two of you...

I absolutely love this art form. Except for the fact that pretty much anyone can be called an artist then. Which would fundamentally break down my very existence in the creative world...

Critics...who said it was art to start with.
It is innovation.

I think it's just plain weird...

yeah I'd have to agree that that is totally gross.. unlike my idea to save all my dryer lint and stuff pillows with them.. because dryer lint was just washed and it's made out of cotton and polly (whatever ther close you were drying are made out of) It's really soft too.. LOL :)

I gotta get weirder than that though if I'm ever going to get rich and be recognized for my weirdness.. :)
