Transforming Found Objects
Into Art
The Beginning
There she was, lying on the ground, just outside the front door of my school. Her bright red body contrasting with the grey pavement, her colour so intense she almost seemed to vibrate.
That was the day I truly started collecting. The first time I was conscious of resonating with an object, having such a strong reaction that it changed the way I saw myself and the way I interact with my surroundings.
