"(Re)Collect" was on view at Pablo Center at the Confluence in Eau Claire, WI from March 21 - April 19, 2024. Both a revisit to and expansion of ongoing work, this exhibit was a continuation of my exploration into how and why we collect.
Inventory was once again suspended in the center of the room, this time taking on the shape of the nearby Chippewa River. New tags were made with handmade paper, then infused with wax making them more translucent. Disperse was expanded in a similar way, with new hand-sewn seeds constructed with handmade paper. Coffer and Arcana Entomological were also part of the show.
New work includes the mixed-media Plate According to some prearranged method as well as a piece titled Catalog. This wall-length collection of items acts as my own curiosity cabinet, with a mix of natural specimens and personal artwork that I've acquired or made in the recent past. While my personal interests lean towards natural history artifacts, another new piece called I Collect invites viewers to share what they collect and why.
