Your Junk Drawer...

Tell me more about your junk drawers!

I'm collecting stories and pictures of junk drawers for future somethings. I'm curious about why I'm so fascinated by this and how far and wide this phenomenon may be (can it be a phenomenon? Hmm, maybe.). Maybe you call it a catch-all drawer or miscellaneous drawer – whatever you call it, I want to know more about it! Please share below about your catch-all drawers/spaces (because sometimes it's a closet not just a drawer:). If you want to also share a picture or 30, please email those to info@kerryphillipsart.com. What memories or stories do you have? Are you or your family embarrassed about the state of your junk drawer? What other feels or thinks do you have about your junk drawer?

Inventory?

Do you dare share an inventory list of items in your junk drawer? Ha! That's really next level. What's the oldest item in your drawer, do you think? What's the most recent? What's the most used? The hardest to find?

Pictures?

Please send pictures of your junk drawers! Please, please, please! Email them to info@kerryphillipsart.com. Thank you thank you!

Yes, I will!

Sorry, no.

Junk Drawers
(my parents’ junk drawer and a growing collection)

I’m fascinated by the accidental nature of the collection that happens within the confines of the junk drawer - as well as the migratory habits of the objects that lie within just waiting to be used.

Tthe most recent iteration of this junk drawer is part of A place for everything on view at Miami International Airport, North Terminal near Gates 29/30. The original drawer is shown alongside a red-flocked recreated version of my parents’ junk drawer.

In the neighboring vitrine is a new found object installation with lamps, sewn fabric, furniture bits, and other objects collected and altered for various projects over the years.

Please click on the link above and share your pictures and memroies of your own junk drawers for research I am doing.
