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.

WHITE WOOD DECORATIVE TRIM

27.0 x 6.6 x .5 cm
In 2007 my aunt gave me a box of chair parts she bought at a yard sale. She purchased them convinced she was going to use them for something, an inclination I feel at the depth of my being.
Many of the contents in that box have been used, but I have been kind of paralyzed by this piece. Rarely does one come across such an ornate and weirdly complicated label.
