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.

JONNY'S GERMAN SUNGLASSES

15.0 x 4.5 x 2.0 cm
Jonny gave me these. They are from the fifties and aren't actually German, but when donned, they have that look. What does that mean, 'that look'? Couldn't I have just said they look like Thomas Dolby's 'She Blinded Me With Science' glasses? But I think Dolby's gig was based on the same stereotype. Not the 'backpack-on-the-front' German, but the Kraftwerk German. Oh yeah; Kraftwerk. That's what that stereotype is based on. OK, I don't feel guilty anymore. Goodnight.
