Artist Statement: The Cabinet of Curiosity was an assignment that was influenced by a reading from the book "To Have and to Hold". My chapter was called the theater of memory. The reason why I made the over all cabinet look like a theater was purely based from the chapter. My first sculpture in the cabinet was a solar system looking object. The reason why I created this sculpture was because at many points during my chapter it talked about astrology. Seeing that astrology is directly related to stars and space I wanted to create a sculpture that could represent space without completely showing it. The second sculpture is based of the phrase "instrument of knowledge" I could have simply made something that represented a brain since the brain is the first thing that comes to mind when the word knowledge. Instead I created an instrument that does not exist. I combined multiple different types of instruments. This help me communicate to my viewer that the instrument of knowledge is a real thing, but can be seen in different ways.
