By exploring the intersection between the found and fabricated, Kramer seeks a deeper understanding of the transcendent nature of ordinary objects. He works primarily in recycled materials; reclaimed hardwoods, coffee stirrers, strapping material, buttons, or even tin can lids. One favorite material, street sweeper bristles, are acquired as scrap from a company that re-bristles used brooms. These are woven over welded armatures of thin wire. At the core of his work is the belief that “trash is the failure of imagination.”
