“WASTE is a dead kitten about kittens left for dead. Slitting its black polyethylene case and exhuming the limp stack of screw-bound, reclaimed-canvas pages is the first step in violating an exquisite corpse.

"A dozen once-discarded VISITOR drawings are dressed for their wake in a story pulled from their maternal closet of moth-eaten mania. The scrap-sketches–related only technically by dilute blood–are cropped, decontextualized, forced into awkward cohesion and married line-after-line to a freely-associated story stemming from the sentiment that, ‘children often are like kittens.’ The stack of canvas–each leaf contour-cut to the work’s logo-form–becomes a vertebral armature around which the project’s morbid black case constricts to define the contents as WASTE BY VISITOR. Remembering the pages as a book only expedites WASTE’s decomposition. Repeated thumbing and turning of pages frays the canvas, shreds the ink and slowly erodes the integrity of the hand letter-pressed woodblock prints and their substrate. Destroying the linearity of WASTE’s sorry, hermetically preserved life by desecrating the book and reincarnating its spirit as clothing or furniture ensures at least a few moments of glamour beyond a modest purgatory of refuse.” –from the artist
