Junk Drawer: Stay Home Project #3 This is how a simple observation can turn into a task, then a project, evoke memories, invite introspection and become an exhibition.
In the time of the pandemic when a total disruption in normal life has affected everyone uncompromisingly, reality has reshaped and ways of perceiving flow into it. Suddenly, as if waiting to be recognized, the little things in life including our closest personal spaces begin to look different. Take for instance, the junk drawer. The ease at which I can turn a task into a project both amazes and confuses me. Getting carried away, some call it. For now, away seems a satisfying place to be.
I determined that there was a reason for holding on to every object and the reasons vary widely:
At the conclusion of the project, I have these drawers containing random and unrelated stuff. I’ll probably box it up and label it. But I will also have photographic documentation of its contents and some fond memories of this time when there was time to see differently. Junk Drawer: Stay Home Project #3 exhibition at Artspace Gallery, Richmond VA, USA, June 26 - July 19, 2020. Prints, 6 x 6 in., are available for online purchase through the Artspace Gallery Shop. |
