In recent years, concepts of memory, time and of their unique and varied realities have become of great interest to me. That memory and history may be two distinctly different, yet valid narratives are of great significance. Each can be different, yet true in their own way. Object and place can both reflect history as well as evoke memories. What happens, however, when the two are layered upon one another? This has come to influence my perception of time itself. Instead of time being a line, gaining greater and greater distance from the past as it progresses forward, I ascribe to the Native American concept of time being as layers, one on top of another. The idea that past, present and future exist simultaneously, and that we may flow freely between these layers.
Elements that are at once tangible, and at the same time evocative. Aspects that are both recognizable, yet at the same time, elusive.
