Glinda's First Article on TRASH
In her first published piece on trash, Glinda Johnson-Medland speaks about the nature of the photographic project she began six years ago.

These images and words speak to us of the "out of place" nature of trash and a society that allows this with little recourse to erradicating its ugliness and inappropriateness.
