Candle wax, ash, & documentation
"For the uninitiated, the dumpster exhibition involves artists customising laser-cut model dumpsters. What we didn't expect was OverUnder to set fire to one and turn the ashes into oil pastels! You can see the entire process in his amazing video below."

My contribution to the Dumpster Biennial at the Street Dreams Festival in Adelaide, Australia involved burning the "canvas" they mailed me in order to make tools for drawing on the streets. I created 5 oil bars in all, four of which I mailed to the Magazine Gallery for the exhibition and one that I kept for the streets of NYC.
