Art and Erosion

This is the first piece of conceptual art I owned: it's a record cover designed to destroy every other record in your collection through the act of sliding it in and out of your stack of records each time you wanted to play it and then replaced it....

Until that point I thought art was made by people who were some sort of special breed and that art only existed in museums. This opened my eyes to seeing art in a more human, personal scale, and to understanding art as something that could be integrated into my daily existence, inspired by any experience and made from anything.
