A high dew point in a collection space is a cause for great concern. This can cause collection materials to warp and buckle, can lead to metal corrosion, and lead to separation of layers on some objects. Of course, the greatest concern is from mold germination. This can be especially concerning in situations where collection materials are stored too close to supply diffusers. The image below shows condensation on a supply diffuser caused by a high dew point. Never stack collection materials too close to supply diffusers. Always leave at least 18" of clearance between a supply diffuser and any collection objects. This should allow the air to blend a bit before it touches any objects. If you have questions or concerns about the dew point in your collection spaces please feel free to reach out to us. #library #museum #archives #culturalheritage

Floyd Elzinga Georgian Harbour 36"x20"x2" Rotten stumps, broken branches, invasive species, ravaged trees as well as polar opposites and dysfunctional objects; these are the things that excite Floyd Elzinga. He has made a career out of highlighting and glorifying these through three dimensional sculpture, relief work and environmental installations for over 15 years. Current themes in his work focus on broken landscapes, portraits of trees and the aggressive nature of seeds. https://lnkd.in/eJQCkTb4

Remember tomb M1093 from 秦家嘴？ New article just appeared with a few more details about this tomb on https://lnkd.in/gBfMk9cc with thanks to Rens Krijgsman 武致知 for alerting me to this new article First, more information about the tomb itself. It seems that the conditions of preservation are not of the best kind; but a lot has been preserved from it nonetheless. The tomb is dated mid-Warring States, from the Chu 楚 state. As noted, it has been looted before the archeologists could get to it. But, because a lot of the material was positioned is a sort of separate chamber (to the right of the coffin), a lot has been preserved (see images #2, one of which below) Objects preserved in it are lacquer; a few metal ones; and pottery vases. The tomb occupant is said to be a common person; their remains are gone (likely because of the looting).

I believe that the uniqueness of my project arises from the beauty of challenging topography and varied terrain.
