I've switched categories from 2 to 3-D. [If this is the right area to make such formal proclamations]. I work in any medium where the concept dictates. The pieces I'll be submitting are two found-objects that have been enhanced to create new contexts. One is a shopping cart I found that looked like it had been struck by some large, fast-moving object. The "applied torque" that had been "assigned" to it as a result of such impact struck ME as a kind of form that the architect Frank Gehry would have developed for one of his buildings. Over an extended period of 2 or 3 years, the cart was cleaned up and enhanced to suggest that if Gehry designed a grocery store, this is what it might look like. The other object is an automobile gas tank that has been cut in half and turned into a suit case carrying supplies for "gas attacks". All interpretations are correct.
