Description of work: The work begins with a personal photograph, the quintessential memory-maker of our age. The transformation of an ordinary snapshot into a fragmented tactile object through cross-stitch comments on the influence that personal photographs exert on one’s memories.
The memory of the moment of exposure may fade quickly, however, through the intricate needlepoint process, the “memory” of the image is stretched and distended over months as the image is assembled stitch-by-stitch. |
