I Forgot To Remember To Forget

Abstract

Memory is a nonlinear narrative: pieces of a story that are parceled away in various places in your mind, that come together to tell another larger story. These parcels are made up of moments and events that when combined create a new story and offer new direction. Our original memory can become distorted by perspective. What influences your recollec- tions? Maybe a photograph has influenced how you remember something; maybe you have intentionally or unintentionally altered a story so many times that you now believe the altered version to be a factual account. When we remember a moment or event we remember it in an instant; we do not relive this experience as it happened in real time, it is relived in a fleeting moment. It is the stories told and the memories captured in these fleeting moments that I explore in my work
