Abstract
Objects that we are given and collect throughout our lives play an important role- not only do we adorn ourselves and our homes with them, they serve to inspire, hold memories, and create a sense of place and time. Found objects, gifts, and collections are both commonplace and venerated in our homes and workplaces; belongings we thoughtlessly pass by every day also stand as tangible placeholders for some of our fondest intangible experiences. In the exhibition Objects of Significance: An Adoration of Home Through Personal Belongings, the artist visually explores these links as they relate to artworks and writings relevant to mundane objects and sacrality. Sources investigating themes such as models of the sacred and religious, ordinary belongings, and pertinent artists and art history are used to inform the work.
