Compost for President is a campaign built around the composting of empire, an exploration of pop cultural artifact making with organic materials and freely available resources, and a money-moving initiative. The project started as a slogan, then became a rewrite of the pledge of allegiance to compost, then a prototype for an alternative currency built on trust, evolved to become a reclamation of RealTree™, and more. The project is a farce and also a completely authentic bid and invitation; a joyful process of making things using the kindest possible materials and inviting everybody in, and an ongoing fundraiser to fight the construction of pipelines on stolen land. Humor, mess, collaboration, and time spent outside are essential ingredients.
T-shirt design made from real compost imagery and screenprinted onto cotton. Naturally dyed using turmeric, onion skin, indigo, cochineal bugs, madder, coffee, chestnut, chamomile, hibiscus and more. Cyanotype patches made using roots and dead bugs. $50-$80 sliding scale.
Cyanotype print using pressed wildflowers and homemade negatives. Cyanotype photography is a chemical process that uses sunlight and water to develop images. Each print is unique and imperfect! Approximate size is 11" x 25". $30-50 sliding scale.
Ceramic tokens made using homemade stamp, colored pigment and various stoneware clays. Each token is unique and imperfect!
Some ideas for sharing tokens: Hide them for children to find? Give them to friends, lovers, neighbors and family?
Slip them into the tip jar of a cute barista (plus a tip of course). Bury them.
Tokens are approximately 1.5" in diameter. Pay what you wish.
