<p> People retain objects that bear emotional significance; this is, essentially, the fetishization of an object; an attachment to, or a desire for something inanimate. The names for these objects include heirloom, memento, souvenir, antique and relic. These objects bear the burden of nostalgia for the past; they represent a moment that is no longer the present.</p><p> I used the printmaking process of etching to make line-based drawings of objects that reflected or conjured the ideas of longing and desire. After printing the image multiple times, I waxed, cut and sewed together the many forms to create larger works. While I found the concept of nostalgia and longing to be romanticized, I found that I could overcome my attachment to certain items I own. It was through my art making process that I explore the connections between objects, narrative, nostalgia and desire.</p>
