Reconditioned
Selective debris left along Houston's streets and freeways are my
subjects. These found objects are usually broken and left for
trash. We normally pay no attention to these seemingly
useless goods however I felt they had significance. The work evolved because I felt
it was in everyone's best interest that broken objects be mended and not left
for dead. My obsessiveness and attention to detail could bring these found
objects back. It might not be a functional
rebirth, but it is definitely a formal renewal.
This body of work is about mending these damaged and forgotten possessions. It is about analyzing, documenting, mapping, collecting, reconstructing, and reconditioning each individual object I find. Starting as I gather the item and finishing when I have repaired the object to a point of formal originality.
