ECHO: something that evokes memory; an effect that continues after the original cause has disappeared.This body of work is an investigation of memory and experience; the echo of memory and the lingering experience of landscape. Fragments of recollections reverberate, fade, and re-emerge through time as reconstructed memory-images. The familiar landscape is reinvented through the act of remembering. Glimpses of things barely registered spark a flash of recognition like a familiar chord. Images are the echo of collective experience.
