Before you toss that stuff out ...

think about how someone could see value ...

beauty and worth in your stash / junk ...

broken, old, the creative possibilities are endless!

In these hard economic times ...

your stash is worth cash.

Khalil Chrishtee = plastic shopping, trash bag sculpture ... powerful, emotional life size figures ...

In my never ending quest ...

to show that everything is worth something ...

these mesmerising figures ...

demonstrate how every day trash bags are forever ...

Chrishtee says “For the first time I have used trash or recycled bags as my medium because no matter how many times I recycle plastic, it will remain plastic only, it will not change. So why do we change after being replaced? We change names, religion, language and even emotions. Why can’t we also remain ‘human beings’ that we essentially are?”

powerful and emotional  =  words that spring to mind!

The best day, play date, Play Doh, Celebrity Apprentice, Jumping castle + more ....
