For over a decade now, I have been documenting the “stuff” of our society that we use once and throw away. Americans create more garbage, per capita, than any other culture, yet we are blind to our waste. I collect many things, among them, bottle caps, credit cards, pencils, shoes and chop sticks. I use these everyday items to make work, which transforms the objects and surprises us. We are used to using “stuff” once and then throwing it away. We may throw it away, but my work makes me aware of its continual impact.
