Paho Mann’s Junk Drawers

I have photographed Junk Drawers and Medicine Cabinets on and off since 2000. My work explores the persistent mark of individuality in a culture that brands, packages, and relentlessly promotes conformity. Even among those who attempt to fit into society, there is an amazing wealth of information each individual reveals in near-privacy, spaces such as junk-drawers and medicine cabinets. The near-private nature of these spaces force the viewer to contend with the natural desire of humans to collect, categorize, and by doing so, manage to give clues about their personality and identity.

    Its always unexpected to see projects by the faculty of my art department up on Make. First there’s the Sun Dial project, now Paho’s drawers.

    I’m excited to see what else shows up from one of my colleagues.
