A collection of memorial objects.

Curio is a curated collection of memorial objects, with notes on the time and place where they were acquired. This project examines the trinkets we amass, why we hold on to them, and what they are when removed from their context. Curio explores the dispassionate mechanisms museum and libraries use to organize and catalog objects with inexpressible personal importance.

Each edition includes items organized under seven categories: Rock, Gem, Wood, Man, Bone, Shell, and Fossil.
