DREAMS & MEMORY 16"x16" Mixed Media Textile - hand-dyed vintage napkin, screen printed images, embroidery thread, 2019.

Made from contemplation on the power of memory, nostalgia, and dreaming, to distort the past, highlight what may not have existed the way we remember, burying what isn't conducive to how we remember our lives, and how trauma shapes our conception of 'personal history'. We can build sweeter memories for things the further we move from the pain they caused, but also lose sight that which used to truly propagate joy in our lives.
