Landfills

In the past couple of weeks I have become extremely intrigued with landfills. So I decided to create my final project about landfills. My main objective was what a landfill would look like if you cut it in half. How the different layers of trash and dirt would be presented. These two images below show my process. I bought some styrofoam at a craft store. I sectioned it off and cut into it with different tools. to create a dirt like crevice. Then I painted it different shades of brown. All the tiny trash in between the layers are cut up trash that I either rolled or crumbed up. I used hot glue to stabilize it. I am still in the process of creating a transparent layer to go over the top of the box.
