““ I think that even merely seeing giant mountains of junk has a stunning effect on a person, making you more likely to take decisions regarding consumption and reuse into account in our daily lives.

While working at RAIR, Chris worked on the fabrication of a “blacksmithing tool trailer”. The trailer is a custom tear drop style trailer build to haul anvils, propane, hammers, and the forge that his collaborators RAW TOOLS use for public demonstrations of blacksmithing which is used to transform decommissioned firearms into other objects with an anti-violence mission. This trailer was built with reclaimed wood and metal sourced from the waste stream.
