I believe there is value in looking beyond the category, the classification, the signifier--- to muddle distinctions and see things out of order.  The grey spaces in between categories, the things that do not fit into the classification, can reveal our standard modes of thinking and push us beyond the limits of the known. To step outside of the logical places in our minds and embrace the intuitive— this sparks important new connections between previously unrelated categories.

Archaeologica is an installation, a collection, and a museum.  The specimens, created from common objects of daily life, defy and confound their own definition. As the meanings of objects are shifted, so is the way these pieces are presented: displays are left unlabeled and slightly askew.
