Anthropology

I believe objects carry the energy of their caretakers far longer than the time they were used and well past the life of their users. I keep Jim's Rolodex on a shelf in my office at the University of Arizona. Every so often I pull it down and look through the entries. Seeing my dear mentor's handwriting, studying his annotations, and tracking changes in addresses or area codes deeply moves me. A lifetime of transactions and transformations is encoded in this wheel of cards.
