Search Party

Specimens act as thresholds - as fragmented clues. Search Party is a gathering of objects, a kind of evidence room.   They could be microscopic—dust granules, slivers of bone—or massive—ancient carcasses, ruined buildings, a rusted tool. Each a whisper from another time. Each carries a trace of what has been lost, waiting for someone to decipher. Cuts, dents, and scars become maps. Search Party continues this practice of looking closely—of searching for meaning in remnants, clues, and traces. Here, objects function like pseudo evidence, each bearing silent testimony to the forces that shaped them.

The work invites a kind of detective work, weaving a network of desires and disappearance, and speculative reconstruction of pasts that resist easy narratives. Visitors are invited into this search, to examine and interpret. Plot their own trajectories through them. The space itself becomes a game of tactile hide and seek, of revelation and concealment.
