During the spring of 2014, I was one of the Bay Area artists participating in the residence program at Recology San Francisco, having the unique opportunity to scavenge discarded materials from the Public Disposal Center of the city of San Francisco. I had full access to gather items that would otherwise go to a landfill or a recycling facility. From an array of construction materials, furniture, household appliances, paint, gardening tools, to broken machines, musical instruments, unused merchandize, clothes, food, plants, personal objects and photographs, the amount of “things” coming to the facility everyday is overwhelming. This series of shopping carts directly refers to a range of ideas related to production, consumption, recycle and waste, symbolic of consumerism and the economic system we live in.
