In Red

In this exhibit I explore the incommunicable gap between object and memory. Flowers, wings, signs and textures and color ignite memory and remind me how time does not heal. Through myths of promise, implied disappearance and words grown old, a landscape of longing rises. In Red represents the minute space in reminiscence between who we were and what we are.
