“In most of my work I use steel that is headed for the scrap yard, discarded pieces that will be recycled or melted down. I give these pieces of metal a new life by transforming them into sculpture. I was immediately drawn to the Landfillart Project, because it is the same idea, taking the material headed for the landfill and giving it a new life. For artists so much of our time is spent alone working in our studio and I was drawn to the idea of being connected to the larger art community, both nationally and internationally. I was intrigued by taking an object that everyone knows and has an association with and altering it to be viewed in a different context. Also, I love the idea that each artist starts with the same object and puts their own individual touch on it, all taking one basic shape and transforming it in their own unique way.”Rebecca Fox
