this guy is the one who made the refuse sculpture that i altered and i wonder if he was annoyed. he talked to me once, but today he just nodded and picked up some trash. his dog was bored and he had to pull her along, running a little pigeon-toed and stopping again to talk to a crow and pick up trash. as to the sculptures, if i like them i will photograph them with a dog, or if i can think of something i might alter them. i think of these inventions and interventions as a kind of dialogue, of absent ones, in passing, but i don't know what this guy thinks.
