Artist's Statement

I am a hoarder of unwanted scraps and have the best intentions for giving them a new life. It is a burden to bear the masses of cartons, cups, plastics and cutlery that passes through the hands of myself and the people around me but my deepest intention remains to raise people's awareness of the wasteful and destructive lifestyle lived by most Americans.

So, as an environmentally responsible resident of the garden state, I have declared it my creative duty and ethical responsibility to sort, store and reinvent these unsung heroes of our life into a mass that is all their own and serves only to inspire, humor and hopefully give thought to what is so often simply thrown out.
