The Archive  | Three Notions of Work | STEAMworks | Scranton, PA | 2017

'The Archive' is a body of work I exhibited in a three person show called Three Notions of Work. Each artist represented different lines of inquiry with the common approach of endless questioning and having studied in graduate school together. ​My work in this show is a result of thinking about archive as a means of self-organizing.  My archive is not to do with old work but rather as a method of work, an active archive.  When I began work on this project I envisioned a system of boxes enumerated with an ordered code, labels – a method to translate what I had already created and articulate how I would move forward.  Instead, I am making more objects, new objects using the materials I associate with archive.  The much-needed disorder of the making is put in balance by the installation of the objects.  Here the exhibit is the archive.  .Click here for a glossary of terms.
