The skip is an object that attracts and repels people. Those that are attracted tend to make use of the free source of resources. It is a device that transports objects from our daily use and understanding to an abstract, out of sight, location. Their user no longer desires the objects, instead they return to a primitive material composition. At this point it can become more effort to mine again, than their original extraction costs were. Their previous design lingers, confusing their reuse with layers of meaning and associations. This can also be a trigger for breaking rules and building narrative around the link between the new use and what it once did. It’s interesting to see how the new object attracts and repels the old.
