Recordkeeping combines nine individual mixed media pieces, each with its own lighting unit that can be turned on and off using the center button console. Each single box includes a layered artwork clipped onto the outer surface, like an X-ray ready to be analyzed. With the light off, the top layer shows an anatomical element sewn onto a printed illustration, text or photograph. With the light on, an additional layer interacts with the image above it.  A lung is sewn onto a medical text. When the light is turned on, directions for how to inflate an insect are revealed.

With Recordkeeping, I am considering how the aging body becomes more and more subject to medical and scientific study much like an insect pinned in a display case. As an active participant in the display, a viewer can reflect on the varied connections between the human and nonhuman subjects.

Recordkeeping's dimensions are approximately 20 feet by 7 feet but can vary depending on space. Individual pieces can also be shown with individual switch plates.
