Mockingbird Bundles

Much of the identity of a community can be defined by the materials they use and the products they consume. The pieces left behind by this usage become the artifacts of that community. I like to think that each remnant that has been discarded still holds some trace of each person who held it. In this way, these bundles are collected memories of a community. The act of binding these pieces together creates a kind of narrative whereby all the memories held in the pieces of debris are intermingled. Each bundle is a story consisting of memories from people in the community. For this project, the bundles are a metaphorical extension of the collage technique of the song repertoire of the mockingbird.
