It’s taken us by storm: Newspaper Bin Floral Art
“Sure we can’t actually use bins as bins now so we chuck our rubbish on the ground and ironically the whole suburb stinks like a garbage bin but we all have to suffer for art, and by the ghost of Brett Whiteley, this is art!” said the director of the Brett Whiteley Gallery Grahame Wynne.
Buds and Bowers on Crown Street is now selling handmade bins with a lovingly crafted newspaper floral arrangement for $600.
“So fucking hot right now” said design student Georgie.
“It brings a sense of the genuine. It’s what society is missing” said Michael Raso, head strategist and creative lead of strategy consultants ‘Scarves ‘n’ Insights’. “It gets you where you live.”
“It’s exposed, raw, real, unflinching, unmistakeable,” said Raso. “It is a not just Bin Floral Art, it is a way of life, inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this city so unique.”
