From Heaps to Whole
November 5 – December 31, 2010
From Heaps to Whole is an experiment in trash reappropriation.  Scoured mostly from the sidewalks of New York City, the cardboard used for this project is a testament to our modern day’s unsustainable cycle of consumption and disposal. Like a phoenix rising from ashes, beautiful shapes, patterns, and structures are born from discordant piles of street trash. Inspired by Ken Wilber’s writings on creative emergence, evolution, and transcending old conventions, From Heaps to Whole aims to readdress the question: “What is waste?”
