Museum archeology is an exploration into historic collections that demonstrated pivotal moments in Midwestern and American History. The significance of these investigations for the artist was to better understand their own connection to these turbulent times, and what steps they are taking to acknowledge both the beautiful and ugly narratives that are a part of American History.
