About the artwork
%u201CDoes death have the capacity both to turn people into things and to bring inanimate objects to life?%u201D(Brown, 2001) %u201COr will our stories highlight the extent to which human beings and thinghood overlap, the extent to which the us and the it slip slide into each other?%u201D(Bennett, 2009). Objects documented, drawn, and printed. Beside each, its companion, the same print paired with a ripped book page from my fathers personal records printed on top. This is my fathers introduction, a set of reliquaries denoting our fraught relationship. Within the lexicon of labour, The language of print is integral to this body of work, referencing the history of my fathers family, all who worked hard labour jobs to make ends meet in both England and Canada. This work acts as an indicator and reference of that labour and of my impulse to implement my fathers same coping mechanisms, to keep and collect.
