Wunderkammer,
literally ‘wonder-cabinet’, is a German word for
a cabinet that held a collection of curiosities. With origins
in the Renaissance, Wunderkammern continued to be popular through
the Victorian era. Fossils, minerals, plants, or paintings might
have filled these cabinets. The proximity of objects inside
the Wunderkammern creates formal and conceptual connections
that might not occur outside that context. In my studio I keep
old encyclopedias, drawings, photocopies and other ephemera
that I use as a personal "cabinet of curiosities."
I leaf through these disparate sources when working on new paintings,
revisiting images and ideas.
