EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Walking through a darkened corridor of Lawrence Hall on the University of Oregon campus, something against the wall catches the eyes of Michael Salter. It's a wheel from a chair or desk, just another of society's discarded items, but it's something that might just end up in his art someday.
He scoops it up in midstride.
"I thought it was kind of interesting," Salter says later at his studio. "Things have a way of kind of hanging out in here. And then sometimes they move on, sometimes they just sit around."
This guy has way too much free time on his hands.
And too much styrofoam... ;-)
