Artist Statement:

When one is “referring” to something.
Or regarding something, . . . . . or re – guarding something
we use (re) this, . . . or (re) that.

(re) – the topic of turning
re turning.
And
“Returned” – sent back to it’s origins,
an object returning to its source.
which in many ways those re-assembled bit’s of turnings ARE
returning to their source.
(slightly re-purposed, re-vised, re-newed, re-known)
