CCSP (TRASH) ART SHOW

Is it possible for us to practice resurrection (as we like to say here at CCSP) with garbage? One person’s trash is another person’s art! We spent this Tuesday morning collecting trash along the Western Highway and Macal River, just down the road from our home here at Nabitunich. Instead of hauling it away to the dump, we opened up the bags and our imaginations to see what we could find. We had so much fun finding new and inventive ways for recycling those things we normally throw away or found on the street. And what a talented group we had this year! In a variety of colorful and just downright odd fashions we all attended the art show Thursday night, circling around each other’s work and listening to the artist’s inspirations. Here is a sampling of some of the work staff and students created.
