Classification explores groupings of seemingly disparate everyday objects on the basis of shape, tone and line. Images are made using the 19th century photographic process of wet plate collodion, which transforms our view of these objects without masking their identity. By removing them from their more common context, the resulting tintypes emphasize a novel classification of vegetables, flowers, and rocks based on principles of common shapes and tones and reveals previously unknown relationships.
