"The mess here around us is rather like my mind; it may be a good image of what goes on inside me, that's what it's like, my life is like that."
Francis Bacon

Interesting to think about archive in terms of how it affects our personality, can archive or the process of same become a formative influence? Certainly "archive" offers others an insight into ourselves, through archiving we edit our own lives so that they may be better understood either by others or often by ourselves. What causes some to hoard and others to distance themselves from tokens or mementos of the past?
