Philosopher Charles Taylor speaks of communities as "social imaginaries", or "the ways people imagine their social existence, how they fit together with others, how things go on between them and their fellows". In further reading, he talks about communities as continually invented entities, though we imagine them to be hypostatized.This exhibition is a fanciful exploration of narrative by detritus. The installations and collages are a result of wondering what it would be like to give space to a temporary imagining of beings who have invented themselves from things given away in a spirit of generosity.
