an assemblage of fragments collected from the john kent russell house salvage

the gallery consists of building materials and other odds and ends discovered in the russell house while salvaging the artifacts that are currently available for sale on the urban remains website.

a booklet and a weekend architectural artifact exhibit (i.e., containing these objects and more) designed to provide further insight into the building methodologies and materials will likely be launched sometime in the fall of 2014.

demolition is likely happening this week, so i hope to negotiate with the wrecker to salvage much larger fragments or complete sections, consisting of multiple materials built during russell's time. that way, one can carefully examine this salvaged visual aid or "system" and dissect or peel back the layers of its construction to identify how one thing relates to another.
