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.

SEATBELT

7.2 x 30 x 3.5 cm
I indeed did own my dream car: a mid-eighties Volvo 240 station wagon, cornflower blue. A perfect form married to absolute function. Except that the function part didn't work out so well.
After only a year-and-a-half together, I donated the thing. And knowing what "donated" means (see: metal cube), I extracted the seat belts before I bid her adieu. I thought maybe someday I'd use them for something.
