The Relics Behind the Sculpture Art

Found Objects & Vintage Assemblage Parts

When I visit the studios of fellow assemblage, mixed-media artists I get a kick out of looking through their stashes of art ingredients tucked away in drawers, bins and on shelves. Here is a gallery of photos of some of the parts in my workshop.

A friend and his daughter were evacuated during the 2017 Thomas Fire. They came to our home.
The outside air was full of ash and not safe, so we spent one day taking apart an old Underwood typewriter.
When we got stuck, we made a video, asking for help from our artist friend Jeremy Mayer.
