Future Memory of a Saturday Afternoon

Media: Cast paper, string
Size: 72" x 48" x 18"
$800

Artist Statement:
My work is about the way people attach significance to their environment through memory. I am interested in the way specific places or objects can accumulate overlapping associations and memories, changing the way we feel about them and see them. I like to imagine memory as a physical presence that sticks to objects, giving them a tangible history.

As a medium that is both fragile and temporary, paper is the perfect way to capture an echo of this sense of memory in a particular moment, trusting that as the significance of that memory and object change over time, the paper version of it will also change and degrade.
