The Collectors

I started selling stuff on consignment for people (mostly elderly women) who live in my building earlier this year and I think that has played a part in a lot of the things I’ve made in the last few months.Some of the visual sources driving this series include dog sculptures, millefleurs, illuminated manuscripts, ancient jewelry, emojis, plants, the dog beach by my home, caricature drawings and collections of toys people post online. This series is partially about adapting the language of toy or object hording and visual catalogs (think the emoji interface) to my own changing visual interests and design sensibility.
