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.

EMPTY WELDING GOGGLES

16 x 6 x 6 cm
My wife and I were at a flea market in Brooklyn in 2009. At the time I was making art pieces that you look through, so I was searching for googles, eyeglasses, things like that. My wife spotted these, and when I bought them, she was surprisingly excited that she might have made a direct contribution to one of my pieces of art. I find that weird, because she has had a tremendous impact on everything I make, from art to decisions to breakfast.
