## Caption

to keep an object is to assert that the person or moment it carries forward still matters.
to build an archive is to refuse the forgetting that time insists on.
i grew up in a midwest family that kept everything. that talked about the dead like they were in the next room. that understood objects as alive.
i make maximalist installations because minimalism was never going to hold all of that.
