“As soon as I read about it, I was totally inspired by the mission of the project. I have always loved re-purposing ordinary items, even before there was a word or a movement for it. As a kid I couldn't  help myself, I painted my bedside lamp, jewelry box, even my shoes. I have decorated my clothes and my furniture. I created a show several years ago where I purchased twelve old wooden school desks (with the attached chairs) and invited 12 artist to turn them into art and create a magical classroom at a local gallery. I also spent ten years selling chicken eggs I hand painted and duck eggs which I turned into little boxes which held five foot long hand printed poems that could be pulled out and then cranked back into with a little handle attached to the egg. So as you can imagine, I simply could not resist the idea of turning a hubcap into a piece of art.”Pam Corwin
