My thesis work examines the complexity of memory. Through reflection and exploration of my own personal memories, I curate artifacts such as letters, photographs, and objects to alter and intertwine with fabric. I use fabric as a connective medium because it naturally suggests memory as it is embedded with domestic significance and is connected to place and body. By using quilting as a medium I reinforce the layers of domesticity, pattern, and ritual. The goal ultimately is to create a space for the viewer to consider their own relationship to the potential loss inherent in their memories.
