I associate my memories with the seasons and months during which
I experienced each event or particular feeling. This fits into an overall
way of categorizing memories by season (each side of the box is one
season) and month (each compartment with stack of pages). I see myself
moving through time counter-clockwise on a square, as though it is a
Monopoly board. (The top left corner section is February, the one below
it is March, etc.) Memories pile up at each 'month' but are not in any
specific order. I left them loosely tied togther in jumbled fragments, so
that they can be taken out and examined individually, but collectively
make up my memory. Each smaller book, representing each month of the
year, can be added to as I experience more. The blank pieces in the
center symbolize future memories, waiting to happen, be processed and
then find their way into their own place in my book.
The concept of the assignment was
time, so I took it a step further and incorporated the idea of the first
entity on earth...light. Light is supposed to be the beginning of life.
It has no beginning and end. The stream of light that I took a picture of looks like one
decisive moment in time. In reality, it took about 10 seconds.
Photography has the ability to trick the eye into believing that every
thing took one moment.
The book took three weeks to put together and the content
changed alot during that time. I had my friends model the shots of the
hand and face.
