found objects (things the artist cannot bear to part with)

objects contain memories, sensations, energies — it’s sentimental but spiritual, a collection passed on. my grandmother’s house, my father’s shed, my studio—how did these possessions grow so unruly? bearing examines the urge of keeping to keep. a compulsion entangled in biology, the work consumes the body, peering into an assemblage of items that might be needed one day.
