Some photos of my Gay Trailer Trash on Acid Livingroom












As a huge fan of Pee Wee Herman, and a lover of visual intensity, I've had a blast the last 10 years slowly, steadily tripping out my livingroom since this is my last house and resale is not a concern. I'd wanted a mirror floor since the 70s when I was an art major, and scavenged mirror backed by contact paper to reduce breakage, plus hold sheets together when they finally DO break, has made that dream come true for $7 worth of contact paper. I have slowly built up an inventory of LARGE sheets of mirror, and dumpster dived a giant roll of contact paper. So I am going to lift up older, smaller, cracked pieces of mirror (held in place by gravity and friction), apply contact paper to these new big pieces of mirror, and thus achieve a more cohesive look plus cover, hopefully, a much greater portion of the floor and thus get rid of my old tattered tapestry and dumpster dive a new smaller one. Visitors often enjoy looking down into the mirrored floor and spotting "infinity feedback loops" based on mirrors on the ceiling. I just bought a 500 watt halogen workshop lamp and will soon post on YouTube a video cam tour of my "Art Tacko" Gay Trailer Trash on Acid Livingroom work-in-progress.
