Cloud Jar

I found a little metal pipe in the large planter outside my apartment building. I picked it up, because I'm trying to develop the habit of picking up things that I think might have potential. It being a pipe I also thought it would be smart to clean it. I tend to just soak my found objects in bleach water, and look what this did! It's been growing for a little over a week. I'm afraid to touch it now.

Zeitgeist 2010

These are images from an installation at Zeitgeist Coffee in Pioneer Square. "Refuse Flock" arose from my investigations into the Pacific Gyre Garbage Patch, which is a massive accumulation of debris in the Pacific Ocean that is twice the size of Texas and growing. I became interest in the idea of what it might look like if we had a similar issue, but floating in the sky.
