Galilee Peaches is an interdisciplinary artist who studies the dynamics of intimacy betweenindividuals and within environments.

In this new work: ‘a reservoir / a ravine’, Galilee Peaches creates an archive that acts as a sieve; afictional collection of artifacts and found objects. A large wooden shelf is the centerpiece of theexhibition, hosting sculptures that appear calcified, forged or fossilized. This work reflects on theprecarious nature of excavated artifacts, personifying them and envisioning these objects as extensions ofthe body. The archive speaks to both care and neglect, placing value and negotiating loss. The forms areplaced in situ, which allows them to converse, spiraling into one another, generating fiction. This work ismade with an almost compulsive awareness to material and orientation, with each piece lingering on thesensation and implication of touch.
