POP-UP Exhibit Title Search

Today I am sending an email to the students to ask them to come up with a title for the exhibit we will be having at the end of the course out of the works they will make out of the trash they are collecting.

It will be at the Staunton-Augusta Arts Center (very generous and kind of them to let us use their space) and it will be open to the public as a fundraiser/auction. More details TBA.

I am sure the young ladies will make their debris into viable, covetable works of art in the 3 weeks we have. I will work closely with each of them to ensure they do and hope to have time to make a small piece of my own to include in the auction. I'm excited by the opportunity of using tree tubes m'self -- (see image below). Evidently there are plenty of these compelling objects littered about the rivers in Staunton and the surrounding areas.

Anyway does anyone have suggestions in terms of exhibit titles? 

My initial thoughts are:

Honoring Nature
Waste Management
Interceptors

Please share your ideas and any suggestions for titles - or you can just vote for one of the above.

Thank you!

p.s. I've also just agreed to speak at the Annual Capstone Festival at Mary Baldwin College in order to honor the tradition of the Doenges Scholar giving a short talk at this festival. I almost never agree to speak without slides/images of my work on view as I am lost without my work... wish me luck!
