$3000.
This broken Coke bottle collage is built of pieces of the everyday world, non-art materials: things we wouldn’t look at for meaning, esthetic or otherwise, things we would rather not see, but as archaeologists learn of a culture by its garbage, so this collage is evidence of our society through detritus showing developments which can be seen as results of events in time, transforming time into space, material into metaphor
