Since 2008, I have been creating large-scale screen prints of furniture, based on images from my childhood and on other people's descriptions of their childhood homes. I am by nature a nostalgic person and am very interested in how an object as mundane as a salad spinner an embody vivid memories of people, events, and periods of someone's life. By working with other people's memories I am creating a physical representation of collective recollections, while investigating how a variety of people who differ in gender, age, race, neighborhood, and income all relate to the objects that populate their memories.
