The Medium and The Process

Every piece begins as trash, specifically aluminum cans, pulled from recycling bins, gathered from neighbors, and picked up after gameday where staff has sorted into bins from a stadium full of fans. What most people flatten and forget, Kendall washes, cuts, sorts by color, and rebuilds, fragment by fragment, into the icons of the American West.

Step One:
Sourcing

It starts with bins, bags or cans solo on the ground.  Cans come from all over: home recycling, from friends and neighbors, from the gym, from the skate park, and from community partners who keep Kendall supplied by the hundreds.  Every piece is quite literally, built by what a collective community throws away.
