The whole piece consists of thirty units cast in wax, which are arranged according to site or location. The use of stereo - typical female objects, handbags and kitchen utensils, is a reference to advertisements found in 1950 women's magazines. The piece is also about collecting, arrangement, memory and ephemera.
