WASTE.AGENCY: NO MORE DUST TO DUST

No more Dust to Dust by Paul Hazelton on display at the Waste.Agency A tornado of dust sucking up all that stands before it. Work-in-progress image, 2013 Art, in its most basic state, is dirt. Its production, as a by-product of living, results from the breakdown and fusing of ideas and materials. “Framing is essential. It separates acts of creation (which are labelled deviant acts) from such phenomena as camouflage, errors, dreaming, pornography and madness, which are unframed deviant acts.” Roy R Behrens Art & Camouflage: Concealment and Deception in Nature, Art and War. When refined or framed in a particular way, this dirt becomes culture. Consumerism capitalizes on our revulsion to dirt by encouraging us to buy new clothes and the latest products. Only when dirt becomes culture is it accepted. Art therefore helps us to accept our mortality. Paul Hazelton Also on display at the Waste.Agency , Paul Hazelton is Making Money at Last...
