finetoothcomb presents a series of artefacts from a post-apocalyptic realm – excavated talismans, utensils, tokens and figures with lost temporality.

Cleaned of their grime and arranged onto a shelf which outlines the room, the objects sit in a line like objects in a museum. On this shelf they are subject to absurd classification, deposing the museum of the sole arbiter of truth and tilting the power back towards the objects themselves.

In finetoothcomb the observers become the observed, surrounded by a row of silent un-eyed starers.

A stage-set sits in the centre of the room, holding monolithic objects packed on like a raft of dirt, an island of information from somewhere which was. An accidental portal has dumped this giant mole hill, making a microcosm of a place, like a snowglobe, to be stared at and not entered.
