In a coup d'etat of DIY, designer Thwaites set about building a toaster
from scratch. And we mean scratch. Thwaites reverse engineered a seven
dollar toaster into 400 separate parts and then set about recreating
steel from iron ore rocks, plastic from microwaved potatoes and copper
from homemade bromide mush. The result is a hilarious examination of the
industrial materials and processes surrounding our lives.

Bellingham has The Museum of Toaster Art. It's above the Pickford in the PFC Dreamspace Studios. It's the life work of my friend RDB (aka Eric Brown.) Gallery walks are the first friday of every month. Next one is 7/6/12.
