The
decay captured in Inventory and the near anachronism
of Ghost Dwellings» squat reinforce the
idea that
time can not be halted; yet Tan hints at how collecting can be more than just a passive reaction to this phenomenon.
In the catalogue essay for this exhibition, Lowery Stokes Sims states: «While many collagists draw us into the romance
of the object, Grossman's work draws us into the raw violence
of the discard, the discharge, the eruption
of life and nature and the
decay... [Grossman] was «led to collage» by the potential for sensuousness and the
idea that «objects are in the world — existing in life and getting away from it at the same
time.
