These objects were all culled from my parent’s house where things do not get thrown away easily. It has been over forty years since they moved in, so they live in a museum of 20th & 21st century debris. Before making the painful decision to throw something away, every possible virtue or alternative use for that at-risk item is considered. My installation below was one of thirty artist’s responses to the topic of “Easily Discarded” at the last CultureJam.
