This series of miniatures is a meditation on memory. 
 
As memories grow and change, things I used to see as fixed memories, flow to take on new context, new life, new perspective. Sitting with this change, letting go of the certainty of past conclusions has been a challenge. 
 
This is piece is an homage to gratitude. I have taken memory for granted, thinking of mine as a static treasure trove I could mine at anytime.  Others have seen my intense memory as a curse, tied to an inability to forgive, to let go. As my own memory shifts, I find myself straddling both worlds. I am shaken by the movement of stable memories, the glaring sense of my mind’s fallibility. And yet, I am grateful for the shift in perspective.
 
I played with movement and texture in this series, signifying a loss of control, a lack of statis, and the necessary discomfort on the road to peace.
