notes to self

I think i'm more interested in the story. the identity and story of the collector - the whys, the hows, etc. and also - the experience of collecting. collections are fascinating to me, mostly because i am interested in the history of the objects (i use objects loosely) and that that invokes, or provides or triggers in the imagination of the collectors. for instance - my friend Rachel (posted earlier) sent me a few images of her with her collection - but what fascinates me is her letter to me, describing her process, touching a little on the whys.
