During my residency at the Sanitary Fill Company (AKA the San Francisco Dump), I salvaged other people's garbage to use as art material. I studied "whiteness" in a studio filled with an incessant billowing of garbage dust accompanied by the screaming hydraulic loaders. I explored fascism through plastic coffee lids. I played with the irony of Styrofoam, which is light in weight and never decomposes, and used blocks of it to make a mistletoe of anvils dangling by chenille yarn. The dump, of course, presents adverse conditions for making artwork, but this residency helped me make a lot of new work. Check out photos of the 2001 show from the Sanitary Fill Company where I was an Artist-in-Residence. See this link to the Sanitary Fill Company's Artist-in-Residence Program. San Francisco Chronicle, March 16,2001 article about using materials from the Dump. See other temporary installations I also exhibited at the Sanitary Fill Company. The reception for "Work from the Dump" was held on April 21, 2001 featuring live music by The Bottomfeeders, American and Japanese snacks and, of course, new original sculpture and installation. |
