Rebuild Warehouse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 2008 to receive and sell reclaimed building material donations in order to provide funds to train unemployed and underemployed unskilled workers for “green collar” jobs and to educate the community in affordable ways to live sustainably.

In 2009, I was invited to kick-start their "guest artist" series. Once a month, invited artist would create from the available inventory of reclaimed building material. The freakishly odd floor lamp was created with a Metal Filing Cabinet, Outdoor home fixtures and partial Display from a local retailer. Funktional, the lamp was sold to a "green" couple.
