Waste. Rubbish. Garbage. Seconds. Junk. Debris.
What do we as humans find valuable?
The series Collection Day is an array of detailed graphite drawings depicting yard waste bins filled with discarded plants. Initially intrigued by the sculptural forms and unique personalities of the bins, I soon experienced them as a metaphor for our human relationship to the natural world. Some, exploding with leaves and branches, highlight the futility of trying to contain nature within man-made confines. Others, lids shut tightly with only a few leaves peaking out, present a muffled surrender to human intervention. They each depict the unexpected beauty and humor found in the messy leftovers of life.
