I've been working as a temp at a furniture shop and when is quiet, I try to think about ideas for my project. While I was doing some thinking on finding ways of organising the patterns or images I intend to work on, I realise an idea was lying on one of the sofas; a sample book. In the shop they use those books to show types of fabric available for upholstering the furniture.
This kind of object may have some characteristics related to the archives.
