PROJECT: The Memory Pore ROLE: Curator, exhibition organizer, content writer and designer

Four California artists, each nearly a decade apart in age and adiacent colleagues, are organized around the theme of memory. Together, their athereal aesthetics evoke a dream state, a rumination on the everyday, and a longing to occupy a place and space no longer accessible outside of the mind.

Memory is an act of recall and a desire for renewal. By way of the ordinary, these artists offer unique measures of clarity to visualize both. The methods applied are varied yet interwoven; a hazy motif, a dreamlike atmosphere, reconstructed materials, an elusive fragmentation- together they beckon a pouring over of time and truth.
