Loaded, Mixed media Installation. 2010. Transparent photographs, plastic boxes, monofilament, wood.

A three month documentation of the patterns formed in my dishwasher. Anthropologists often make inferences about a society by analyzing the residues left on cookware. Modern dishwashers eliminate this information by scrubbing clean the remnants of our eating habits. When I look at these images, I remember moments. By looking at these fragments I know when my dog died, when I had guests, went on a bender, or had a picnic. The installation is comprised of 58 image pairs, each a transparent photograph encased in 116 clear plastic boxes. The boxes are suspended on a linear framework of tensioned monofilament. Arranged in chronologic order, the images document three months of dirty dishes from June 27 2010 through September 27 2010. The found boxes were discarded by a local business, and repurposed for this piece.
