Framing Memories I Never Had is
a 5’5” (artist’s
height) encyclopedic perpetual projection machine, spinning stories out of
space and time which cannot be held by narrative yet must be told. Histories
become memories and myths of infinite representation, where the experiencing
body as "place," takes and loses shape endlessly. We are asked to
see and remember, to see through and with memory and to ask, "who is seeing;
who is remembering; whose memories?" Our corporeal body is the shifting
medium through which we can experience, remember and represent.
