Memory as Material, Time as Sediment
Memory as Material, Time as Sediment (10x8", mixed media on canvas) explores the phenomenology of memory through geological metaphor.Layers of pigment, texture, and collage compress like earth—each stratum containing traces of the past embedded within the present.The work transforms recollection into something tangible, challenging linear time by revealing how memory accumulates, distorts, and endures. The past doesn’t disappear. It presses inward, reshaping the surface.Layers of paint, pigment, and recollection—each one remembering the one before.

Fossil-like Impressions: faint outlines of organic forms — leaves, shells, even faces — suggesting the persistence of past selves within new layers of being. Erosional Marks: scratched or sanded areas resembling tectonic lines or dried riverbeds, indicating how recollection is an act of uncovering and destruction simultaneously. Buried Silhouettes: ghostly traces beneath translucent paint hint at what has been overwritten yet never fully erased. Luminous Sediment: metallic specks evoke fragments of thought preserved like mica in rock — glimmers of consciousness embedded in matter. Each layer becomes both image and metaphor: the canvas as excavation site, consciousness as shifting earth.Interpretation
Memory as Material, Time as Sediment explores the psychological terrain between the seen and the unseen — a meditation on emotion, memory, and the fragile thresholds of identity. The work invites contemplation of inner landscapes and the quiet movement of thought beneath form.Poetry
