The For Keep's Sake series is an accompaniment to the Truncated series in the previous gallery. This group of works "fossilizes" fragments of the extremities, on which the "tattoos" serve as subtext. Many of the pieces are placed in keep sake boxes or display cases which heighten the sense of arrest and obsolescence.
