Trash Aesthetic

UPDATED
I have added some new photographs Matthew has recently posted on his facebook page.

My old college friend, Matt, is currently in Barrow, Alaska teaching circus camp (he is a professional clown). Not only is Barrow the northern-most town in the United Sates, it is also home to some of the best public folk art I've had the pleasure of seeing. The following pictures are of dumpsters from Barrow painted with decorative images and public service admonitions for what I assume is the primarily Iñupiaq population.
