The female form is made of a series of woven bands that have a raised, repeated text. The text repeats a narrative about memory and how photographs used to be absolute proof of a memory or an event and how the photographic process is (now) not actual proof of anything, (due to technological manipulations. The torso is made up of inglaze decals of red poppies. The use of red poppies refers to eternal sleep and to artifically induced sleep. In Persian liturature, the red poppy is a symbol of eternal love. Combining the contrasting blue bands of text and the image of the red poppies symbolizes the conflict of actual memory and percieved or evolved memory. |
