Molly Sawyer
We are, all of us, Found Objects to be picked up and reassembled throughout our lives. Luxury of a Load-bearing Weight is an omnibus with Found Objects being chapters in the visual storytelling. The narrative speaks to my own story and in turn, relates it to the greater human effort. It is a hope and gratefulness for shouldering a burden successfully. It is both personal story and interconnectedness of the human dimension. It is dichotomy and metaphor, connecting the contemporary to the traditional, modern, fine art to craft histories through material and method.
