Thrift stores are chock full of art one step from the dumpster. I enjoy collaborating with (rescuing?) these forgotten artists. Of course I have the upper hand, changing, excerpting, incorporating as needed. If there is any justice, a few of my efforts will return to the thrift economy, a sort of karmic recycling.
