A CATEGORICAL PROPOSITION (2019)
“A specimen collection is a physical catalog, an attempt at direct, unmediated knowledge of the items organized. It is also a set of relationships—either static or provisional—that are proposed by the organization and display of the collection. Collections gesture at what we value, displaying and archivng what is deemed worthy of consideration.” — Excerpt
