Practice Led, Fine-Art PhD ongoing - 'Why as artists do we persist with anachronistic models of collection and display?

I am researching anachronistic cultures of collecting associated with museums, and the accumulation and ordering of mnemonic materials that many of us collate within sheds and attics, through the lens of a sculptural art practice. With a particular focus on the use by artists of taxidermy, diorama, natural history collection and archaeology I am interested in collapsed methodological boundaries and the potential that this liminal space provides for creative play, message making and equivocal readings.
