I make art. My process has evolved over time to include a wide range of media including video, photography and painting on found or recycled objects. One time someone bought a piece and then later realized it was painted on the back of a drawer. I think there's something beautiful about the transition of an object from trash to artwork. There is a very free feeling when working on a piece of trash because it's not an expensive canvas. I can just throw it out whenever I want and it doesn't matter. Producing prolifically means I give a lot of work away and mount in public space, where the found object originated if possible. I feel like a proud parent. "Now get out there and be somebody, Art!" It's interesting when I return and the piece is gone. I wonder if it's bringing someone joy in a living room somewhere. Or if it's back in a dumpster. Either way it is now art, with passion and meaning to it's life, and not just a dumb drawer.
