| dc.description.abstract | My work is a meditation on the potential, beauty, surprise, and pathos inherent in inanimate objects -- particularly those objects that are normally overlooked. In my work, refuse is reorganized. Broken things become absurd tools. The resulting multi-media pieces ask us to consider our relationships with ourselves, each other, and disposable objects in the 21st century. In three sections, this paper outlines the ways I employ the tactics of display, animism, and misuse to subvert the expected utilities of found objects. These items can produce undertones that may be environmental, playful, humorous, or provocative, all depending on how we encounter them | |
