TORD BOONTJE/ "use what you've got"

been surfing around the net today, i came across a video by one of my design idols Tord Boontje,
he talked about how people's creativity shapes the future, and how Local is better than global and a lot of other things.
what stuck in my head however was the phrase he said which was  
"use what you've got"
i had memories flooding in me of a lot of school projects and junk art competitions, that we've had over the years, the use of junk as well as found objects to be able to create art has always been one of our favorite forms of craft. here are images of some of his work
