Takahashi's Junk
by Jane Harris


*Garbage* by Theo Kisch

Moving? Going out of business? Got a lot of stuff you need to get rid of? Call Tomoko Takahashi. She'll gladly help you out.


*Sunset* by Tasha Depp

Working from the detritus of offices and schools, this London-based artist is known for her arrangements of junk. Her installations scatter, pile, and sort everything from cardboard boxes, light fixtures, and papers to files, dry wall, and obsolete computers, turning unwanted garbage into art.


*Still Life in Red and Green* by Sarah Yuster

One of her signature motifs is the countless cigarette butts she leaves behind as evidence of her process. Strewn about, they remind the viewer her installations may look hodge-podge, but are in fact obsessively constructed.


*Hollywood's Waste* by James Juett
