There is a cosmology of destruction and re-growth that stems from the things people throw away. These objects become part of a microcosm that is growing and/or decaying, and being consumed and consuming. On the larger scale this decomposition is an evolution of space. These sites can neither be considered pristine nature nor cultural landscapes; rather they represent a state of harmonious decline and re-growth.
On one level I am captivated by the beauty of these spaces, on another I am also fascinated by their entropic evolution. Entropy tangles and erodes the contours of the landforms and the built environment; it blurs distinguishing lines between interior and exterior, nature and culture redefining these spaces as other than nature made or human made.

the spoon is bamboo and i use it everyday to feed my little boy (well, actually now he uses it to feed himself.)
the nesting dolls were a present from my friend jason, (the idea is that you are supposed to paint/modify them yourself but i can’t bring myself to cover the natural wood.)
