My parents are no longer alive, and I no longer possess many of the things found in their home. I frequently visit flea markets and garage sales purchase objects that I remember from my childhood home. When I bring one of these surrogates back to my studio, I meditate on it. Immediately a memory emerges, one usually directly related to the object, the room it was in, or an event. I close my eyes and try to recall the precise details of that memory. In a way, reliving it. This memory leads to another, and another, and so on. As I travel down this rabbit hole of memories, one often comes that intrigues me. I extract that memory and recreate it in film and embedded in each painting. The film is made visible through the use of augmented realty.
