Trace/Memory features artists who are consciously playing with and investigating the transformative process of manipulating information. Memory, like art, is a creative act. Small bits of information gleaned from real world events, objects, activities and emotions are routed, selected, mapped and catalogued for use in creating individual stories. All of the senses as well as intellectual, emotional and experiential information, varied & complex, are in play in the artist’s explorations. These “traces” are the raw materials of their creations. Using both additive and subtractive processes the artists in Trace/Memory distort and reinvent reality to create each unique work of art.
