An Elastic Affair

The project, Elastic Memory, is a collaboration between Tricia Treacy and Julianna Foster. A small edition artist book and a photographic installation will be produced from the series of images and text presented here. The title, Elastic Memory comes from various conversations Tricia and Julianna had about how are the moments in our lives that begin to fade and change over time remembered. How those events, people and places of the distant past become inter changeable with the recent past. How sometimes our memory has no unity of a specific place or timeframe and what we remember begins to translate as snippets or excerpts from a larger story. The selected images and text from this project leave room for potential. Potential for a narrative that has many uncertainties and perspectives.


Memory is an elastic affair, we remember selectively just as we perceive selectively. -errol morris
