The Things We Leave Behind

It started with a series of deconstructed video game controllers, objects people had spent thousands of hours holding. The series travelled around the world and was shown in galleries. Later, I realized I had been circling the same idea: the things we keep, and the things we leave behind. My fathers set of hockey coins he collected. A nest built by a hornet. The memory of what our childhood meant in our development. I'm interested in what outlasts us, and what the things we keep, or choose to let go of, say about who we are.
