Can Series.
Walnut, Wire, Nails, 2008.

Cans preserve the food that lies within, the taste, the smell and that moment in time. For a show created for the then Hawke's Bay Museum and Art Gallery — I looked at cans as a metaphor for memory. 

The ones we head back to and visit once and awhile. If these memories themselves were phys­ical places what would they look like and how would they operate? How would they keep themselves warm?
