where, C = collecting, T = tinkering, P = preciousness.
This formula was part of my artist statement for The Entropy Collection exhibition I had early this year. I was both surprised and thrilled the curator let me use it. It was stuck up on the wall in huge letters. Ha!
I haven't posted many photos of the exhibition because I felt a bit tired of it after working on it for so long last year. The thing is to put it away and then return to it with a fresh eye and mind. Gooseflesh is where I do my archiving ...... a place to record and store what I make and exhibit etc.. It's good to have one central place where there's a timeline. Here are some shots from my photo files.
The Osedax Collection, 2012
cotton and glass vials
10 x 2.5 x 2.5cm (x30)
These were all sold, except for the first one on the left, which was stolen. I thought that was rather funny but the gallery staff thought it appalling and were very apologetic.
They were stuck to the shelf with museum-grade glue.
It think they want to escape.
The one on the left is the one that was stolen!

Osedax is a genus of worms, also called the bone eating snot flowers. It lives on the ocean floor and eats the fat inside the bones of whale carcasses. It was first discovered in 2002 at a depth of nearly 3,000m (Mt.Everest is 8,848m). See the full story here.
