ARTIST STATEMENT
Whitney Dirks is a self-taught magpie who loves rooting through other people’s trash at thrift stores, discovering and stockpiling treasures for later use. She embraces the ethical nature of upcycled materials, which provide both an environmentally conscious alternative to consigning unwanted clothing to landfills and a socially conscious alternative to sweatshop labor.
