Today's comment comes in from Joy, reacting to Alec Clayton's recent "Visual Edge" column on Spaceworks Tacoma, recycled art, and specifically Barbara De Pirro and Holly Senn. In the first line of the column, Clayton admits he's growing weary of recycled art.

Joy says:

"Wow! What happened to the volcano. What I see in the glut of recycled art is artists inspired by and inspiring others, relearning making using ironically unstudied materials. I see artists developing with the only materials they have close at hand and affordable. I see people who are examining their life styles and behavior. And I see art that is accessible to everyone not only those who live in big cities or have a lot of money. Recycled art is activism, it is interesting, colorful, diverse and available to all."
