My name is Kurt Schwitters... I am an artist and I nail my pictures together.

I could see no reason why used tram tickets, bits of driftwood, buttons and old junk from attics and rubbish heaps should not serve well as materials for paintings; they suited the purpose just as well as factory-made paints... It is possible to cry out using bits of old rubbish, and that's what I did, gluing and nailing them together.

Some of those dresses are works of art. I'd be happy to just have them in my closet and let somebody else wear them.
