Memory Functions

The Brooklyn Home Company, Brooklyn, NY

March 15-June 15, 2022

Memory Functions consists of two complementary installations in the Brooklyn Home Company’s new eco-friendly residential suite, together imagining living environments as places to reflect on personal histories and build new stories. 

Memory Store, the primarily white cloud-like installation in the light-filled living room on the eastern end, changes its color as the sun travels throughout the day. The whites, like a brand-new sketchbook, suggest a hopeful new beginning.  In contrast, Memory Plus, the multi-color installation in the master bedroom, presents wire, which is formed like line drawings in the air, connecting swinging colorful dots that appear to be sprouting out from one’s dreams.
