haunting. beautiful. [yesterday was the first day of autumn. this is what it felt like.]
“One of the things I’ve learned from this project is how much there is to learn, how complex the whole process is. What is our mandate? What is it that we are supposed to be doing? What is it that we are restoring? Or that we need to restore? How much is this about artists’ intent? How much is it about historical artifacts? Are we fetishists? Do we try to retain these objects at all costs? These are very important questions that we must continue to ask ourselves. In fact I find this the most interesting part of the conservator’s profession.”

This is an idea one can apply to many aspects of life — to many objects in one’s life. Why do we find it necessary to hold on to certain things, maintaining their importance in our own lives, only for them to fall into disrepair (or the garbage pail) after our departure from this place. I find this to be the most interesting part of the human’s profession.
