I am a collector by nature and can't stop myself from seeing beauty in found objects, often things that other people would consider trash. I take long walks and become extremely happy when I find "treasures." I conceived this assemblage, titled Junk Drawer, for this show, but added the numeral "one" after the name because now I plan on creating an entire series. There is a certain voyeuristic quality to looking in others' drawers, closets, basements and other places that are hidden.
