From Scraps
Button Pusher
Button Pusher. February 2018. I dreamed of growing up and being a cashier, pushing buttons all day. Tiny (3" x 3.5" x 5") cash register made from scrap materials (including hand written logs of my grandfather's daily expenses). I've been collecting scraps for more than 25 years. Gathered from crowed junk drawers, dusty supply closets, and the occasional neighborhood trash can. I transform this ephemera of existence into tiny tributes to time past.
