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."
