I've completed another assemblage using some of the piano pieces that I've found at the Metro Transfer Station (the city dump). This box contains a few of the keys as well as an old paintbrush...I'm a fan of plenty of incongruity, needless to say. The box itself was constructed from lumber gleaned from the massive mountains of wood at the dump, and then covered with some pages from vintage encyclopedias, those pages then sanded, and finally given a light application of alcohol dye. Both top and bottom compartments are covered with glass. For more information on this "gleaning in the dump" art grant, see Gleaning #1
