“The only thing constant in life is change itself”.
Heraclitus of Ephesus, c. 500 BC
Cities are in a state of constant change as buildings are rehabbed and repurposed. To aid in this work the beast of burden of the construction industry is the dumpster. Its sole purpose is to hold and transport demolition debris to the dump. Over time, the inside walls develop a patina of scrapes, scratches, gouges, rust and a build up of various construction residues.
As I peer into a dumpster I observe this mystique of happenstance and see in it abstract patterns forming “Dumpster Art”. I then interpret these patterns to produce the images presented here.
