Imagine a future visitor to an ancient world. A world that has disappeared long ago. Abandoned. Buried. Crumbled. The stories, importances and cultural expressions are in the objects left behind. They become a mysterious record of the past or maybe, of the future. Then, discovered and pondered by this singular visitor from the future past.

As an artifact takes shape in its creation, I elevate it into this mystery. I listen for its story and start to embed an evolving meaning. I wonder…

Who’s hand made this before me? What meaning did these objects hold? What was its journey, What was the life of its creator? Is it I who found this or did this artifact find me?
