Residence Plan
Through assemblage, photography and newly developed holographic technology, I will be exploring the way memory is physically held in the mind. This work will be about uncovering the memories of people I love. I will also be representing my relationship to those memories, and the sensation of remembering individuals that have been at the center of the most powerful experiences in my life.
