These site specific outdoor sculptures were found on the sidewalk in Brooklyn, NY created by unknown groups. They contain materials choosen specifically from household objects to represent the used unwanted and decrepid. Despite the negative nature of the contents, the sculpture itself is presented as either transparent or obscured but always with the purpose of communicating an image about the community living and working within the walls behind these totems. These can include messages of prosperity, order, dispair, growth, conformity, humor and enlightenment, as well as the occasional social or cultural commentary. Their obvious aesthetic appeal and placement among contemporaries such as Gavin Turk and Joshua Allen Harris make them an undeniable voice in the dialog of waste.
