Public Art Commission at the Los Reales Landfill in Tucson, AZ.- Using recycled materials to tell the story of where stuff ends, at the landfill. I wanted to capture the color and the movement ( and the birds ) you experience at the landfill. The items used on the left represent more raw versions of materials and as they cycle over to the right side your eye can begin to pick out more and more items from our daily lives and they again get “buried” to the far right. The brick pillars are built from dozens of historical buildings that Tucson has lost over the years from demolition and the center piece is a nod to the historical privy pits of the past where most household trash of the time was discarded.
