California:
In March of 2013, I travelled to the Bay Area, and within a week, I found myself in the Red Wood Forest, on beaches and in bays, driving through the mountains, farms, wine country, and finally back in cosmopolitan San Francisco. The singletrip was a stream of various locations ultimately bleeding into a unique memory, a superimposition that was a feeling of the experience.
"Memory is delay. Memory is a fragment. Memory is of the body that passed. Memory is the trace of a wave goodbye made with a slightly clenched fist."
- Robert Morris // In Conversation with W.J.T. Mitchell // 1994
Colorado:
If I could cite a specific location where I could saybegan to create memory, it would be Colorado. I lived there from about age three or four (I can't be sure) to about six. I am left with fragments of visual triggers that link me to an unrecoverable state of being. It seems unreal and my connection invalid, but these memories and experiencing the place again strengthen the connection.
"The need for memory is a need for history. [...]"
