Gregg Harper has been involved in collecting things that inspired further investigation since childhood. He stated: "a telescope, a microscope, professional magician's props, a Polaroid camera, and a nutpick were my tools of exploration." Harper's layering of media - photographs, drawing, painting, cut paper, embroidery, ephemera, objects - is archaeological. He refers to a quote by psychologist Jerome Bruner - 'All of the forms of effective surprise grow out of a combinatorial activity - a placing of things in new perspectives.'"
