Forget-me-nots

Project Statement 

Forget-me-nots is an exploration displaying the consumption and preservation of memory. A single color sheet of paper is used to evoke a memory.  That memory is then transferred onto the sheet of paper. The paper is then ripped up and put into an empty pill casing. The pill is then consumed. The process is documented. For every memory we have, there must be a reason why we have consciously or unconsciously chosen to keep it. The fear of losing our memory is, in essence, the fear of losing ourselves. I am interested in creating artwork that is both honest and intimate. Memory and the ability to preserve it is one constant that gives us our humanity.
