Passed this beautiful bit of junk on my morning commute. I photographed it while a construction guy sat nearby, smoking on a stoop.
This is the kind of junk that makes me wish I was savvy, or crafty, or any sort of junk-preservation initiative. The face of the dial alone would have been great to save.
Fittingly, I had Radiohead cranked on the iPod when I walked by. I've been listening to all the Radiohead albums I have, in order, over and over. OK Computer has a delicious time machine effect, making me feel 14 each time I hear it -- despite the fact that I didn't really care for Radiohead, I learned the album up and down. Probably everyone did. Everyone listening to the radio, anyway. There aren't a lot of deep cuts. Almost everything got some play.
I altered a cardboard tea bag box, to hold movie tickets. I used a pick n mix paper bag, disposable 3d glasses, gold sweet paper and broken jewellery.
things inside the pages included jokes, papers, party hats & plastic toys.
bonbon, a book by moira clunie. found christmas cracker remnants and manual typewriters. published march 2006, consummated press, in an edition of 1.
Installation in Testbed 1, Battersea, London.
Made from found and donated objects bound together with a continuous 1km line of rope.
This is not a hollow ring. It's what is left after 3 different ring attempts and way too many hours. I need to set up my "real" torch to do the hollow rings. My personal goal is to start June off with the real torch. So, maybe this is looking forward, not back, to then.
brass, found object keyboard key. May 16, 2010.
Installation in Testbed 1, Battersea, London.
Made from found and donated objects bound together with a continuous 1km line of rope.
I'm doing a postcard exchange with 2 friends. Our theme this time around was "found objects" I found a row of these carnival tickets on the seat next to me on BART (commuter train) I felt very lucky. :-)
A vertebre we found up on the mountain (probably deer) with a Mexican tigre mask attached and feet added. Lots of acrylic paint. A fun guy

- Taken at 7:21 PM on January 24, 2007 - this is my study carrel at university.
i started with picture of a thai temple in the upper right, to the left is a photo of the border between poland and germany (taken by my belle-mere), below it is a sandbar in los roques, and the palm tree one is playa de uvas. last two are venezuela.
then, mysteriously, i return after the winter break to find someone has donated a new photo.looks like eruope, summertime. they even tried to tape it as carefully and anally as i taped up my pics.
on the back, they wrote: there came a time when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. - A.N.
huh? hmmm. prophetic words? a sign? college idealism? whatever it is, thanks, stranger.
Been getting a lot of questions about the tin...so here is the story behind my 4 A Month pieces this month.
The titanium on the first piece, "Holly's Necklace", came from Holly Gage. She shipped it to me nestled in this tin. So thank you, Holly, for providing the source of inspiration for all of these pieces! (P.S., I had already cut out the first piece before I thought to take this photo!)
Assemblage, barn wood frame, drift wood, found object, foil, beads, copper wire, pine cone seeds, acrylic paint..... SOLD
This series of resin pendants were inspired by a sheet of reproductions of vintage matchbook cover art. I thought it would be really cute to pair the matchbooks with actual matches and embed them into resin
They are made from brass with Ice Resin and various found objects, brass components, bits of paper, match sticks, and glass beads. The resin is crystal clear, and very reflective, and amplifies the collage inside the brass pendant with amazing detail. Unfortunately, they are so reflective, they are a bit hard for me to photograph, but I love each one dearly!
This pendant was made from a raw brass frame pendant, which was heated with flame to give it interesting coloration. Some of the pendants in this series were also hand domed with a hammer and dapping block. The pendant was then carefully filled with the paper and found object bits and covered with a water-like layer of crystal clear resin.
