Collecting is a process of discovery and desire. With works of art, it begins with an individual's impression and reaction but ends with a full understanding. In uncovering the meaning of a piece, its purpose, it's intent, one must report what they see and then decide what it means. By then identifying the piece as coming from a particular culture and period, one embarks on the path that leads to the story behind the piece. In order to truly fulfill one's desire to collect, one must begin to discover, learn, and re-contextualize in earnest.
