Memory Project

At the 'Spoon is a great collection of pieces based on memory. How we remember, what memories are, and what we remember are all explored by various artists. Our assignment: get inspired and make our own piece about memory. I chose to focus on how memory functions - more specifically, how you can remember where you were during important events. My mom can tell me where she was when JFK was assassinated, and I can recall exactly what I was doing when I found out about 9/11. Because its art, not a scientific diagram, I have used my own interpretation of what memory would look like... if it were an etching.
