For Keeping's Sake: Dad's Nameplate 2009
poplar, anagre, video components, found objects
these wood boxes memorialize objects of my father's legacy: a nameplate from his navy desk and a metal hammer he made as a student.
they are equipped with infrared cameras on the interior, and video screens on the exterior. The objects contained within the boxes are viewed only by surveillance; positing our relationship with the things we keep.
