Eco-Core
Sampling Project incorporates eight one mile walks in various areas of
Tallahassee, Florida. I collected trash on eight walks, including public
and private spaces where trash might be found then installed the collection
into the window segmented into eight quadrants. |

The trash was weighed and documented by photocopying each piece noting the source, company, a personal address, or other text information which might be pertinent to locating the place of origin. If any of the garbage had an address I created a mailing list from this source and sent a card "thanking the consumer for the contribution to the exhibition." |
Behind
the garbage displayed in the window was a space that the viewer could
view a map of Tallahassee marking the pathways I traveled, photographic
documentiaton of the sites I collected garbage from and resources I used
to research the project. An installation
