The Objects

Found, inherited, collected, and kept. These are the objects that carry their histories with them—and sometimes find their way into my work.

William Scott

Family calling card · early 20th century

This small calling card belonged to my great-grandfather, William Scott. His name, printed in delicate script, is all that appears on its face.

It is an ordinary little thing—the sort of object that might easily have been discarded. Instead, it survived. Passed down through my family, it eventually found its way to me thanks to my cousin, Rod Hinton.

Found. Remembered. Kept.
