Trash and Treasure


                              Nonnie Roodt











































            “Trash and Treasure” consists of         environment around us. These             and, because of this carelessness,
            five sculptural works, responding to     works were made, in a way, as            are converted into ugly, polluting

            a moment in the pilgrimage when          resistance pieces. They resist the       forms of trash and litter. But many

            Nonnie Roodt was most struck by          “throw away” attitude in which           of these, when seen carefully, have
            the discrepancy between a “throw         unwanted objects are heedlessly          a beauty all of their own, and may
            away” attitude and care for the          tossed into the spaces around us         be salvaged and restored.
