Recycling obsession

[avad]

I've been enjoying another little recycling obsession/experiment: cutting things up into ittybitty pieces for artmatter. here we have white junkmail paper in front.

And here we have printed cardboard:

And some lovely green and white plastics:

I've got a few more bunches of colors that I need more jars for...
been lusting after a shredder...though of course the compulsive and repetitive scissor action is strangely comforting to me...once I start it's SOOO hard to stop!
I want to cut up everything into wee squares and rectangles.mmmmmmmm

so true about the digesting. I'm trying to compress it definitely....into a near powder....so much coming up for me in the realm of strata and geology....matttttter and information and time....hisssstory....I THINK I know where much of this cut up matter will be going artwise...but I have to hope that I'll do it and not just keep compulsively cutting. it's been ridiculously soothing an action.

OH and I think the term I've been seeing being used currently in many circles to mean this is upcycling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upcycle)?
