The Klabunde Box: What happens to the things that have been loved and left behind? Family connections, the thingness of things, and the discovery of cute doggies: The Klabunde Box is all of these things plus a surprise sticker. The book begins with the story of encountering a long-forgotten childhood collection while in the process of putting away the disenchantedtoys of a new generation. Photographs of vintage ceramic dogs combine color beauty shots with cryptic black and white studies of material details.
Land Use Excursions: We built things that we can’t leave behind. Double-exposed vintage photographs document sites with challenging relationships to the landscape, including the Salton Sea, Salvation Mountain, and the Longaberger Basket Building, plus sculptural installations inspired by migrating animals. A short essay reflects upon the impact of these constructions from the perspective of life during 2020.
