As both cultural debris and kitschy castoffs, these goods personify history - collective as well as individual. I collaborate with these materials to introduce characters whose past lives reveal strange narratives and untapped potential. They tell odd fables, make gossipy asides, and mumble old groans of lost prospects, simultaneously embracing and transcending their often-inglorious origins.
