Kevin Sampson says of his work,
"I rescue other people's memories left in
the objects they leave behind and use that power to fuel my creations.
I
start making a piece while walking around. I find the first object.
It
always seems to find me, in fact. The objects always seem to fit
into what I
am thinking about - issues and such. What do I get in return from
community
besides motivation? I get renewal. Being down here in Newark is
real. It's
the real world."
