Look, Just Look At What I Am Installation

One part of the piece Memory is a key player in the game of “Telephone”. What do we remember? How do we remember it? Why? Proust is quoted “Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.” It seems memory is much less a process of recall and much more a process of reconstruction. In this body of work, I use a procession of different characters to explore both cultural and personal narratives. To me, the recall of memory is the afterlife. As long as there is someone who remembers you, you still live, you live in an amorphous, ever-changing cloudy space with everyone the memory-holder knows. If the memories are pleasant, you are in heaven. If not, you’re in hell. However, thoughts are tricky and fluid. They change. They manipulate. Memory expands and contrasts based off of time, hype, fear and love. When 1st person memory dies those people become legend, myth, tale or most often, nothing. Many characters in this work reference the creatures drawn and printed by the carvers of the Nuremberg Chronicles. Creatures that were reconstructed from memory, both historically and personally, from a long dead source and susceptible to the failings that we define as “us”. They are all marching through a process of forgetting, burying, or exalting. Memory isn’t the “Truth”… simply a shade of truth. We all move slowly forward. We all move step by step. There’s spinning and there’s backpedaling and there’s expulsion. There’s longing and there’s hope. There’s suffering. Through that suffering there is love.
