Archive, 1997 – Present
4X6 images, negatives, envelops, archival boxes
dimensions variable

On going since 1997, this is a personalized system to catalogue, archive, and store over 20,000 of my photographs. The photographs range from my grandparent’s images, my childhood images, my college images, to my current images. This was once a private system to store and organize my work, but in the past few years it has become the focus and starting-off point for much my practice and projects to date, and has become an art piece within itself. Boxes, images, and envelops are labeled, categorized, titled, and numbered according to place, event, function, and use. The system is adapted every few years, usually during a residency when I have an unlimited amount of time to spend with it.
