Objects, things mean more to us human beings than first meets the eye. We need the objects, their form as well as their meaning, to define ourselves and our position within the continuum of space and time.
Objects are the visible receipts.
Proof of an authentic life, three-dimensional vouchers of existence, materiality. It is within objects that life creates its legends, that its myths converge once and again into communicable facts. Words are not suitable for capturing and cataloguing time, if we are to believe Italo Calvino, who has Marco Polo claim that the images of our memory are extinguished the moment they are entrapped in words 2 . Language robs the secrets, objects retain them. 3 Objects, their form, their character, their vigor and their potency as a medium of meaning lead straight to the individual.
