Autobiography 2011

"Autobiography" (2011) by Harriet Bart is an installation piece that consists of numerous glass test tubes filled with various materials, arranged on a shelf above an open sketchbook. The piece resembles a scientific display, inviting viewers to consider the ways in which our lives are documented and remembered. Bart's use of simple materials and the everyday object of a sketchbook suggests the potential for even the most mundane aspects of our lives to hold significance. The work encourages contemplation on the nature of identity, memory, and the passage of time.
