Description:
Home-ology, A Mobile Home Museum by Jayne Stokes makes a museum of archaeology out of a converted 1970's caravan. Utilising every available space, from the sink to the toilet, she displays banal discarded objects. Fragments are reconstructed in clay with mock archaeological expertise, to show someone a thousand years from now, what might have been. Short explanations on labels attempt to bestow meaning onto that which is normally regarded as meaningless.
