In and out of use, forgotten and found, deaccessioned and collected, stuff often finds itself in a transitory space. I am interested in the oppositions of these flux states that fall between the collected and discarded, the familiar and strange. In looking at images of trash heaps in garbage dumps, I feel immediately attracted to the beauty present in the build-up of materials; the uninhibited shapes the junk takes on, the juxtapositions of colors and materials and the overlaps and mutations that occur in this place of disposal. This digital print represents the anxiety and desire present within my act of collecting and accumulating. — Jessica Bourque
