statement






Repairing, fixing and mending are all words virtually describing one thing, but in fact each utilizes a specific aspect of restoring an object that is no longer at its original status.
These three specify the process of my work. After collecting various objects that have been left to never be used again, I will look them over. Choosing the primary subject to repair, referring to making amends for what has befallen it, and decide on the objective of this project.
All Items collected have been broken, or injured or wronged in some way or another, they were not up for reassignment they were not ready for a new task they were thrown out. They themselves become a waste that goes on to destroy other things. By taking them and giving them new meaning and reusing these items I make amends for wrongs that are done.
Choosing a primary object and deciding upon a project is looking into the essence of the original use of the object. I must look into the past in order to reuse and repair in the future.

The second stage will be to choose secondary Items, taken in this case as a material and fixed, referring to setting in place, and they will define the outline of the project and of course the general and basic design. The secondary object has an important part in forming the output.

The next stage will be to take the materials set in place and to mend them, referring to attaching to one another, and together forming a united object. This will be done using the materials themselves or various adhesives.

Each object collected can become a primary or a secondary object. One that defines the goal or one that helps achieve it. Once a "project" finishes all items return to the collective state to be chosen again as primaries or secondary objects.
This process is a circular one. A process that keeps inputting new items and outputting new "projects" that later on might be reinserted into the process.
I must repair through reuse because I learned that in French reussir is to succeed.
