On view at the Harn Museum of Art: "Cabinet of Wondering" (2014) constructed wall with videos and cases of specimens embedded flush to the photographic paper, 10’ x 8’ x 2’

Technology & the Natural World
Harn Museum of Art
Gainesville, Florida
Co-curated by Harn Curator Kerry Oliver-Smith and Professor Sean Miller
Aug 19, 2014 - July 26, 2015

Special thanks to the Center for Cultural Innovation for their funding support.

This new piece brings together a wall covered with a large photograph of objects I have collected over many years. Embedded in the wall are video monitors and cases for specimens on loan from the Natural History Museum of the University of Florida. Cabinet of Wondering expresses the urge to separate objects from their surroundings, and then bring them together on a shelf, in the box, in our imagination. Throughout human history people have collected objects—specimens, spiritual talismans, souvenir pencils, family remembrances—in an effort to possess, reaffirm their existence, and to connect with the “natural world”.
