Genealogical Artifact Revision

Insert the following in the Artist's Statement between the fourth and fifth paragraphs:

Many films exemplify the significance of a certain object.  In The Lord of the Rings, the ring is not your average gold wedding band - it is a magical ring filled with remarkable power created for evil.  For the purpose of showing significance in objects, it does not matter what the ring does, or what it has become.  What matters is that it is a regular object that has taken on an entirely new role because of context and because of people. So, too, has my moose collection taken on a different meaning.  They are not just "moosies," but have taken on a different meaning because of my interactions with them.
