“The [Landfillart] Project was brought to the attention of several artists at Maris Grove, the retirement community in which we all reside by Sally Christy, Community Resource Coordinator. It appealed to me because it seemed to be a great idea from the stand point of recycling and also offered a project where there would be no other creative limitations other than the fact you were starting with a hubcap.”Hugh M.
