New works from 'The Litterarti-Project [A Litter-Arti Library]' were produced for an exhibit at Laurier University [Library Building].

[LITTER-ARTI Project @LitterArti]

The 'Litter-Arti' Project continues in book format. The 4 selected books here feature a the categories of found glasses, found paper hats, stacks of hubcaps and factory remnants. Books include photographic imagery, drawings and graphics.

[LITTER-ARTI Project @LitterArti]

Various books have been made, and more are in-progress ... to document the found paper planes project 'PLIEZ' within my larger art practice [all planes have now been recycled!]

[LITTER-ARTI Project @LitterArti]

This recent found paper plane made a safe landing on grassy greens ... at the base of a highrise apartment building in mid-town Kitchener.

[LITTER-ARTI Project @LitterArti]

The PLIEZ project also includes found paper hats, folding games, stars & origami. This one was found on the sidewalk outside my studio - a beauty inside & out! Earlier 'finds' [over 200 items] were featured in the MIT+Alphebet City Media publication TRASH https://t.co/oktvgn1A6o

A paper plane found on a downtown Kitchener street in late March. Departure time unknown - landing was safe, sound and found! And as with the hundreds of other found paper places, this went into recycling after being noted in my ongoing art project PLIEZ. https://t.co/qAA0QkFVS3

Another 'found' paper plane. This one from Berlin, Germany & brought via an international flight to Canada's Kitchener [formerly named 'Berlin'!]
