Brooklyn Arts Council

I am interested in faces, office supplies and our obsession with money. I think you can make great work from the trash on the street. When I walk the streets in Brooklyn I feel like I am playing a giant game of Memory. I see a lighter - now where did I see one of those before? I pick up the lighter, find the other and I've started a collection. I'm still amazed every time I pick up a lottery ticket - by the design, the colors, the technique by which they're scratched. I like that if you do one small thing many, many times you can make very beautiful pictures.
