A note by Heather Champ about the gallery: San Francisco has a remarkable economy of curbside treasure. Items that one might find in dumpsters elsewhere are placed on the sidewalk for collection. Good things—wonderful things—will find a second, third or fourth home, evaporating from view within minutes. More threadbare items—things that have already lived a number of lives—will also find a home. It might take a little while longer, but they too will vanish.
