Memory Walk in Montevideo presents walls that I had photographed in the streets of that city, then painted & re-photographed. Within its translucent pages are sheets with images of my objects. Memory Walk in the Rijksmuseum contains a text I wrote along with photos of those same objects juxtaposed with masterpieces in the museum’s collection. The memory walk in Brooklyn is presented by maps in the back of the book.

I repurposed a set of my handmade papers that had been painted using 2 robots (Artbots built by Käthe Wenzel, Berlin) for another project that was never completed. I went back into these paintings, adding my own lines of movement that indicate the travel from one object to another.

Each copy of the edition has an embedded cassette tape, a unique recording that connects to distinct memories:

– Mozart, Queen of the Night aria
– Weather Report, Black Market
– Penguin Café Orchestra
– Busi Mhlonga
– Billy Cobham
– Archie Shepp
– Lucio Dalla & Lucio Battisti
– The Roches, Maggie Adams, Joan Armatrading
– Bob Marley (artist proof)

The images, the objects, and locations all function as visual poetry… and the movement through spaces & pages of the book creates a dialogue and poetic logic for the reader to enjoy.
