I had this pack of acid-free Canson paper with a self-adhesive backing, 10 sheets in 5 basic colours. So I decided to make some collages of trophies. I think they could also make nice prints, though they're sort of like sketches but then again they're archival. I suppose it's not a bad method of working, to make sure that everything is acid free.
What is the value of a trophy, honestly? $5.00 wholesale? How could a piece of gold coloured plastic that possibly serve to commemorate anything? And who decides who gets recognised for and what level of accomplishment? Is any trophy really worth anything? Is any achievement?
I haven't tried to pawn my piece of glass from the Overtures yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to let you know the street value. It's the only trophy/award I've ever received. Now I sort of want to make myself trophies for super-mundane achievements, like getting out of bed or washing the dishes. Hmm....
