Value In the Personal was a work which looked at the way archives and museums curated their collections, often away from the influence of the individual, and objects holding some kind of reverence.
This work looks into what objects in my life hold significance or a memory. What would a collection that held these objects of personal reverence look like?
The work shows and intentional collection from 5 days of my life. The collection consists of gathered objects, including heather twigs, drinks cans, collaborative Spotify playlist, as well as artwork responses of these gathered objects.
