This series explores the protective nature of memory and experience. Working with imagery and textiles gathered in Japan, as well as concepts and aesthetics gleaned during four trips there, the pieces in this series combine, abstract, blur, fragment, and jumble together recollections – just as one’s mind might. The imagery repeats, takes on different forms, sometimes fades but is ultimately stitched together to form the essence of memory and experience.
