Statement
The Memory series also begins with spraying paint through found doilies, but then the paper substrate is stitched through and crocheted on. The doily references how people manipulate their recollections by being inverted and re-created in different media. This altering reflects how people relate to the past: they forget, remember incorrectly, recall certain pieces clearer than others, and evolve the event through retelling.
