Here is one of several new pieces I've been working on in the studio
this year. These are a continuation of the Memory Sieve Series, which is driven
by my fascination with how our memories work. Or, as I'm acutely aware, how it
sometimes fails us. Why do we sometimes remember silly facts and the important
ones elude us? Science has proven that each time we remember an event our
memory of it shifts ever so slightly without our awareness. That's part of
the reason why eye witness testimony is pretty unreliable DNA tests have borne
that out and people who have been convicted of based upon it are being set
free. Memory can be a trickster, it seems, and an ongoing sifting
process.
