Over the last several years I have been looking at ways to repurpose objects and materials destined for the landfill. I assemble artifacts that I have collected into finished pieces by playing with the texture and pattern found within the material. Retaining its existing finish helps tell the story of the object and creates a history for the finished piece. I like the way the material helps define what can be made from it. The process of listening to the artifacts while creating the final piece is satisfying because a previous life is revealed in this recycled work.
