Through the creative use of painting, drawing, print-media, and soft sculpture, we examine how objects; collected or abandoned, are vessels for narratives contrived by their collector. We are examining these “reliquaries” and how they embody adoration, memory, trauma, intentions, grief and comfort. We intend to circulate notions of slow attention, care and processing through our own personal archives that we have individually deemed important. We intend to circulate notions of healing and processing through the act of collection - simultaneously priceless treasures and hoarded trash.
