Forest Landscape 1 Artwork

Everywhere we go we carry memories of where we have been. Those memories might not be accurate, they may be an amalgamation of many places, times or events and yet they are there, our constant companions in life. Sometimes older memories are replaced by newer memories but many of the experiences linger, keeping us company as we move ever onwards. Lately with dementia and Alzheimers in the news I have been thinking about memories and their impermanence. I have also thought about how we use art to preserve memories, for example an artwork bought on a trip, or artwork chosen to commemorate an event or an artwork of a place or time that we love to remember. We all use art (whether it be a painting, mosaic or photo) to help us remember those times and places that may one day slip from our minds. With Forest Landscape 1 & 2 you see me using my favorite medium, beads, to preserve and share with you some of my favorite memories. Memories that come to mind whenever I pause and reflect. Memories that I hope will be my constant companions long into the future. Original Design and Artwork by Kate Claringbould Artwork Dimensions: 8 inches x 10 inches x 1/2 inch.
