Ephemera, et cetera
I have become interested in the material culture that is a consequence of an event or action, both everyday and special. Experiences are of a temporary nature, but can often result in a tangible byproduct, such as a vacation postcard, a disposable cup, a direction scribbled on a piece of paper, or a concert ticket. These items as a collection are defined as ephemera. They hold the potential for being discarded and cherished, temporary and lasting.
