A Full out Day of reTrashing
So, as many of you know, I’ve opened up a laboratory here in the mountain-perched village of Sabagan. My lover Bianca and I have been experimenting with transforming what is commonly know as Trash into our living accouterments in what was our bare house.The...Here at the Trashure Studio we’re experimenting with yet more un-recycled waste! Here we are putting together a table using small Yakult bottles– a favorite Philipino yogurt drink.
