"Every day I see usable materials being discarded because in that setting …they have fulfilled their purpose because the story has been told. These piles of scraps, were more than that, they were piles of potential, piles of ideas, piles of sparks, providing solutions to a planet sized problem.

On one side...I saw dumpsters full to the brim with usable scraps and on the other… I saw the endless potential for art, as well as  friends and neighbors in the art industry struggling with the cost and availability of these same raw materials. Problem, solution… Fuel, spark… it seemed so clear to me,-and that idea, that spark and that fuel returned again and again with each new production."
