Artist Statement

I’m an old hippie recycling zealot, and fell in love with this stack of salvaged doors at Urban Ore in Berkeley. With paint peeling and glass breaking, they leaned against each other for support, waiting to be discovered for the prefect home renovation project. I saw my own reflection in the layers of glass as I measured a door for potential use.
