From pre-packaged toddler snacks to battery blister packs, I find value in the non-momentous aspects of life. I contrast this value, usually personal or considered simply waste, with formats that allude to objects of monetary value; retail sales displays and things contained in product packaging. I alter the mass produced good- the plastic containers surrounding the cheapest, generic (insert any object here)- giving value to this refuse by displaying an individual, hand-crafted object. These small works allow for one viewer at a time, requesting a closeness of viewer and object, an intentional intimacy of materiality.
