When We Forget to Remember; by local artist Amber Thieneman
Dimensions: 12” x 12”
Made using reconstructed VHS tape, photograph on transparent film, thread, beads, gold foil, acrylic paint
"This piece explores the fragility of memory and the shifting nature of reality through the transformation of obsolete media. By deconstructing a VHS tape, it is stripped of its original function and reshaped into flowers. This becomes a metaphor for how our memories and perceptions are often fragmented, edited, or lost over time.
An invitation to reflect on how technology both preserves and distorts what holds our attention, and for how long."
