The capturing of ancient art objects through a practice of image–memory, image–making, and image–viewing connects to my identity as a museum worker looking at objects up close, looking after objects, being in their presence, and in the presence of their makers.
The lightness of the gaze
The weight of objects
Jennifer Liston Munson's interest in capturing ancient art objects through a practice of image–memory, image–making, and image–viewing connects to her identity as a museum worker looking at objects up close, looking after objects, being in their presence, and in the presence of their makers.

The image of the object becomes an object again.
