"The wildness of the wood is replicated in the junkheap. Both are places where human intent has ceased to dictate the order of things, allowing a strange, accidental poetry to take root."

John Fowles (The Tree)

"Children are unique in their affinity for the world of detritus... In using these things they do not so much imitate the works of adults as bring together, in the artifact, materials of very different kinds through a new, intuitive relationship. Children thus bring into play their own history of creation."

Walter Benjamin on Children and Trash (1928)
