1. I have archived much of my life through collected objects.
2. I have moved a smaller studio, making it necessary that I get rid of a lot of these objects.
3. I have done so by using them as the raw material for one enormous collage, created inside a 30-yard dumpster.
4. Oh, also, I have photographed around 500 of these objects and will display them here, accompanied by a brief history of each item.

BAG OF GLASS DISCS

14.0 x 18.0 x 9.0 cm
disk- 2.5 cm diameter  x .3 cm
So Frank was this friend of Steve's who came to visit Steve in 1992,our freshman year in college. Frank crashed with Steve in his dorm room for about a fortnight. Frank was clean-cut and strange. He spoke of his aspiration to do heroin, but knew he couldn't afford it as a lifestyle, unless he was able to procure another social security number. Frank introduced me to marijuana. Then one day he was gone.
About a week later he returned and told me he had a big surprise for me, something he was certain would be of use in my artistic pursuit. I remember him making  kind of  an atypical production of it, for a man of his mellow. He said: "And for you I got...." then he  produced this plastic bag and with a big smile continued: "...a bag of glass discs!"
He held it up next to his face, one hand holding the top, the other cupping the bottom of the bag, like a commercial presentation, and I remember thinking: 'Wow. What the fuck and I going to do with a bag of glass discs?'

    I think they could have made a lovely bottom for a large mermaid statue. But we'll settle for this.

    snagged a box of 4x4" mirrored tiles from a catering gig. what a great wall display they will be. turned too quickly at corner of 10th ave & 44th street and they poured out of their box; raining upon the sidewalk, shattering in a dramatic explosion. it was 3am and no one seemed to notice. i fled the scene guilty and relieved.
