DESCRIPTION: follmers fourth defluxion was a site-specific installation made for an exhibition at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD. It was new work made during six weeks and part of a continuing series of works derived from my family's artifacts, furnishings and remnants accumulated and subsequently left in my care from the past 200 years. Honoring my family as I continue to understand how to make room for history and my own genetic predisposition to possession while I make work that consumes the overwhelming number of seemingly underwhelming historical artifacts my family painstakingly preserved to keep itself remembered
full room installation at The Walters Art Museum, 2014
