Tis the season for trash art, it seems. I feel like I’ve been getting daily tips on creative exploration of solid waste in various media. The latest comes via Freshkills Park (which has a Facebook page for those of you interested in keeping tabs on the conversion from landfill to massive public park). Tattfoo is a Staten Island-based self-described “community intervention artist” who recently took some lovely shots of Fresh Kills (such as the one above, ripped from the artist’s site).

I know. And I’ve lived on Staten Island. I really love Fresh Kills Park, it will redeem New York’s 5th borough!
