"Conductivity collects a ragtag crew of seemingly exhausted objects and tunnels deeper into their cultural existence. The objects also act as tools to explore the conventions of research.
The process of determining a material’s thermal conductivity (its ability to insulate) requires the breaking down of component parts. For example, raw chicken breast consists of 75% water, 20% protein, and 5% fat, carbohydrates, and minerals. Following the insulating qualities alone, the coupling of materials seems arbitrary, however, endnotes clarify their relative properties. In anecdotal, poetic, and emotionally invested texts, I draw from their universe – including folklore and conspiracy theories – and pair objects of a shared spiritual timbre, undermining the empirical process and registering less traditional sources."
