In the installation piece Inventory, images of collected animal and plant remains are mixed with details of an aging body. Hung together they document the tangible aspects of one’s life. Considered further, they represent the process of appraising life’s experiences.

Inventory includes over 1000 photographs printed on transparency film cut to the dimensions of toe tags (~3x5 inches). They hang from the ceiling with black thread that is attached to foam strips with entomology pins. The newest specimens are printed on handmade, upcycled paper that is infused with wax.

The piece varies in size and shape as the installation is designed for each individual space. From its first appearance on the walls of the Tweed Museum in 2017, it has been hung in 6 different galleries, including a museum stage, windows with views from the outside and in the subtle shape of water ways in the region.
