Mementos are curious things. Literally defined as 'an object or item that serves to remind one of a person, past event, etc.' or 'anything serving as a reminder or warning.' On one hand completely mundane, on the other hand possessing the power to elicit emotions via an intimacy with our past. Things have a way of fixing themselves to our memory, a way of assuming meaning far greater than that which another may see as mere trinket or trash.
In this body of work, the process of fusing animal fiber around mementos is a collaboration between the object, the wool, my hand and the vivid happenings of my life that somehow live within them. The act is slow and deliberate, a meditation that is equal parts commemoration and liberation, a performance and ritual metamorphosis of memory.
