Fragmented Memories Series

  As promised, I've finally gotten the time to upload my first round of silkscreen prints from my Advanced Printmaking class. I've been calling this collection of images "Fragmented Memories" a lot recently. I think the name stems from my lack of childhood memories. All I have are fractured little bits and pieces of some larger picture.

"Food for Thought"

   I've been inspired by the colors of foods that I used to eat as a child. I don't have many memories of my childhood, but food seems to stick out for some reason. I remember vivid colors and tastes of things I used to love.

"Scan II"

   These two images are more of what I imagine the thought process to be. Almost like brain scans of how the nervous system works. Little collections of firing nerves when asked to recall a certain memory. I've been considering the idea of contacting a Neuralogist at University Hospital to learn more about how the brain and memory process works. 

   But for now, I'm so happy that my screen worked on the first try. Now, upwards and onwards into the future.
