Things Organized Neatly

SUBMISSION: Butter the Size of an Egg (2009). This project assimilates and duplicates old or forgotten mementos and scrupulously assembles the cloned keepsakes into evocative installations. By resurrecting these once precious objects and digitalizing their existence, she begins to modernize things verging on obsolescence, and in the process evaluates old family customs and traditions. With almost forensic-like precision, the objects are organized and presented to us. Delicately dangling from book-binder’s string, is a reference that perhaps the viewers are reading, or even inheriting, an ancestral lifeline. written by, Michael Covello
