Collicott has sought out spaces that have been abandoned. Where there was once order and productive work carried on, now there are these still lives of neglect. It is perhaps inevitable that when humans are finished with something that they leave a mess behind. Collicott seeks to return some sense of order to the chaos by documenting that mess in an orderly way.
