Another Person's Treasure is an interactive sculpture accessible by the public. It displays objects collected during the construction of the unit, as well as objects added by viewers of the work. The clear door invites viewers to look inside and the doorknob invites them to physically connect with the piece. Viewers are encouraged to participate in the give-something-take-something experiment, which allows Another Person's Treasure to be constantly evolving.
In the construction process, I collected scrap wood to build the walls and roof of the sculptural structure. This re-use of materials mimics the transforming of ordinary and not-so-ordinary objects into a piece of art.
As this project progresses, I am interested in the psychological aspect of the giving and taking of objects and of the objects people choose to present with little or no direction.
