I value objects for their previous useful lives and their aesthetic appeal reflecting the skill of previous crafters. This piece cost only my time. The materials: a cardboard tube from packing materials, lens from discarded glasses and a honeycomb like packing material found on a construction site in 1992. This material is versatile for its interesting shadows and stamping of designs. The piece now sits on a shelf near my front door, It covers loose change which sits snugly under the cavity that holds the honeycomb paper that holds the lenses. The weight of the coins serves to anchor the piece for the heavier lens affects the balance. The tube is strengthened through papier mache of tissue found in recycling space. Discarded glasses I found in a basket at a senior center. I like lenses and frames for their shadows and reflections.
