Lend Me a Memory

2002

agreement forms, metal shelves and clay sculptures

40 hours, 120 testimonies.


At the World Financial Center in New York City I collected ephemeral and inconsequential memories from passersby. These memories were used to re-bolster my faulty memory bank and small sculptures were made from each one. The collection was exhibited as one unit. In January 2003 the memories, now in their solidified form, were returned to their original owners.
