Works on paper exploring the interplay between materiality, memory, narrative, and form. These works consist of stacks of ripped–up paper that transform a two dimensional material—paper—into a three dimensional topography. “You pile up associations the way you pile up bricks”, Louise Bourgeois wrote in 1999. “Memory itself is a form of architecture.” The works are reminiscent of the structure of a book, with each stacked component—the pages and their respective content—a fragment of a memory (some relatively complete, others half-forgotten). “Our unconscious mind,” C.G. Jung writes, “like our body, is a storehouse of relics and memories of the past”—akin, indeed, to the stories we tell and pass along. These works contemplate how memories—like stories—are constructed, rewritten, and transformed over time.
