What do you get someone who has everything?
I've known this person for three years. I have never witnessed such a fervor for consumption in the form of buying things. Things: objects, clothing, furniture, food, adornments, etc. Always on the hunt to own the most special, unique, luxurious items that anyone could have or that no one else did. There were cabinets full of pretty little things, "smalls," unappreciated by the eyes that previously sought them out. They were safe now, in possession, tucked away from the possibility that someone else could have them. The floors were an obstacle course of sculptures, paintings leaned up against them and smaller objects that didn't yet have a home (as long as they were under the roof of the collector, I suppose they were). Walking around was full of moments where I would clumsily kick something and quickly look towards him in hopes he wouldn't notice. The couches and chairs had oversized props on them, or bowling balls. This was not a house of living, it was a house of looking. The first time I was invited to come inside, I was in awe of the chaotic curation. I opened every drawer, every cabinet so I could get a better idea of who this person was.
