	"I am excited by trash transformation - art alchemy. I'm thrilled by the challenge of fishing in the trash stream in the US (it's really a trash tsunami).

"I am excited by '''trash transformation - art alchemy'''. I'm thrilled by the challenge of fishing in the trash stream in the US (it's really a trash tsunami). Removing things from dumpsters and fashioning new uses is a spiritual experience for me--refuse resurrection requires all my creative abilities to break away from past uses to see new life in old objects.

	"In Philadelphia we have a group of salvage artists called the Dumpster Divers, where we throw out ideas of reuse and recreation. Our motto is 'Ejectamentum nummi nostrum - Your trash is our cash.'"		"In Philadelphia we have a group of salvage artists called the Dumpster Divers, where we throw out ideas of reuse and recreation.

	"As in photography, I still remain at, heart, a propagandist. I want my view to be the view. And I wake up in the morning to make sure that I can get my view across to other people through art. I used to do it through photography now I do it through constructing objects."		"As in photography, I still remain at, heart, a propagandist. I want my view to be the view.

	"In both photography and art I never gave very serious consideration to the finances of it. It’s not why I do things and, it’s defiantly true in the art field, I actually took a significant pay cut and increased the amount of time I have to spend in my chosen field by switching. But I’m happy to do it because I feel as though I’m making a significant contribution to my culture by making objects that require thinking the way I want people to think. As in photography, I still remain at, heart, a propagandist. I want my view to be the view. And I wake up in the morning to make sure that I can get my view across to other people through art.
