I have always coexisted with piles of junk since I was young whether it was my obsessive collection with Jurassic Park toys, our kitchen littered with unpacked groceries and an abundance of boxes. These piles document my past by representing a specific point in my life. For this annual I have presented a series of drawings that take direct influence form my past but represent my current environment. This year I live with three other artists who form interesting piles of there own.
