The old days III

Even though I am not rummaging through shoe boxes that have been sitting under the bed for years, but just digital photo folders, it does feel a bit nostalgic at times. Here’s another piece from the old days when I used to roam the woods with Jan Philip Scheibe just to make art. This work is part of a series where inflatable plastic objects representing nature were staged in the landscape. The series began in 2006 and marked the start of my artistic exploration of our relationship with plastic.

The Age Of Plastic
1980 Canada pressing

Boundless love for this masterpiece of a #newwave #synthpop album.

Those who are fans of the genre (particularly the #80s era), know that this album is far more than “Video Killed The Radio Star”.
Front to back, brimming with fun bangers.
