A symbolic collection of things that represent my childhood memories of my family. Objects are crammed indiscriminately in a childhood plastic toy version of my parents wood china cabinet-their version of a wunderkammer. They were Depression era babies and first generation Americans grasping The American Dream. They hoarded and sought safety and self esteem in material things. But no matter how much they had it didn’t ever seem enough.
