For this work the artist swept the dust from his studio floor onto a large sheet of paper. He then tore the paper into pieces and worked more on the surface with his broom. In this way he both calls attention to the detritus of everyday life and uses it and ordinary tools to draw out the latent beauty in the most mundane of surroundings.
