Flotsam, jetsam, lagan & derelict

I had an epiphany on the weekend. It was slowly working its way to the top of the trash pile in my brain. The work I am currently doing is obviously all about junk. But it has to be true junk - jetsam. In that it has no life beyond what it once had. I save it from the bowels of obscurity, give it a new role and a little pride. Simple structures, tiny works that hopefully, wax whimsical with those who view them.
