Postmemory Quilts

“Remembering” a past for those that came before you, and are now gone, is a postmemory construction. You imagine the moments, the impulses and the emotions but in the end they are fragments stitched together with the personal.

We think of photographs as truths, but they willingly collude in the fictions we create.

The unconventional elements of the photographic and the drawn in the wooden “Postmemory Quilts” are endlessly movable, as are all our autobiographical fictions and memories.
