Exhibition catalog for "A Series of Fragments of Moments" curated by Karen Gutfreund and hosted by Arc Gallery & Studios in San Francisco, CA.
"A Series of Fragments of Moments" offers a provocative exploration into the fragility of memory and explores ideas about passing time, narration, marking history and perception. Examining the ways in which memory is constructed, how individual and collective memories shape our lives, leaving an indelible mark, manifesting in objects, words and dreams that can function as physical traces or intangible points of contact to the past. The works reflect the simple act of marking a specific time to the recording of memory to construct identity. Whether illustrative or evocative, ephemeral or concrete, A Series of Fragments of Moments collectively speaks to the apparent dichotomies reinvented memory, loss and remembrance, the individual and the universal.
