In Memory of My Memory
Digital print on canvas, wood and string 58"w 40"h 10"d
Humor is one way to deal with the aging process. Here grandma dives into her brain in search of the things she's forgotten or misplaced: her purse, phone, wallet, keys, the pan boiling away on the cooktop, her shopping list, appointments, the names of people and things, and leftover boxes still sitting on the table at the restaurant.
This magical version of the brain has jelly-fish like neurons exchanging electrical charges as they transfer information across the brain. The starfish are astrocytes, the crabs are oligodendrocytes, who clean up and feed the brain.
Why is it that I keep forgetting
the name of my favorite painter?
