Abstract
Garage Sale is a query into our understanding and expectations of the material world. I create curious objects which simultaneously imply utility through their features and form and disrupt assumptions surrounding their use by being functionally useless. By combining familiar materials, forms, and mechanisms, the outcomes appear both functional and confounding. Initial predictions are perverted or left unfulfilled as levers fail to initiate a reaction or containers spill out their contents. The objects solicit viewers to consider their material world and reconsider their expectations.
