GUMF
“GUMF” is an index of overlooked objects “inherited” from my Dad and Papa. Collected over time—taken from sheds, lofts and spare-rooms—these items are presented not for their material value, but for the habits and stories they quietly hold. Each object is catalogued using formal indexing parameters, accompanied by an informal transcribed conversation between myself, my Dad and my Mum. The publication balance’s structure and sentiment, using design to reflect on memory, inheritance, and the desire to keep things that might otherwise be thrown away.
