Tiny Statement | In this series, entitled “Strange Notions”, I present unusual arrangements of thrift store merchandise. I suggest a disrupted utility within each of the compositions. As such, these photographs are monuments to human stupidity. In this age of climate change skepticism and right-wing conservatism, our “strange notions” as a species are clearly widespread.
