Outmoded Sender 2010. Wood, glue, screws, pay phone, trash can, wall. I found this pay phone as I was walking home one day. I had made the same journey on the same path but never noticed it before. It saddened me to think that a once high technological device of my youth was now hidden behind trash cans in an used alley. I made a frame-like structure to make the pay phone a bit more noticeable. I wanted people to only catch the phone by the dumb look of looking offer or out of the corner of their eye. I could have made a huge, over the top frame for everyone to see but I wanted everyone to experience the reward of discovering the pay phone just as I did. This piece focuses on the experience more than the item itself.
