Image Statement: Engaging in scavenger hunts around local businesses and dumpsters, I collect discarded boxes for recycling, including the ones delivered to my own house. The collected boxes are flattened, cut into strips ranging from ⅜” to 1”, with corrugated insides removed. This meticulous process yields two weavable strips of kraft paper, serving as both warp and weft. The result is a type of textile I call Consumer Cloth.
