Featuring fleshy latex casts that resemble corporal forms, as well as adolescent mementos such as butterfly charms, the exhibition plays on the embodied nature of memory. As stated in the press release: “Sites of somatic intimacy — furniture, food, jewelry — are abstracted into hybrid forms suggesting a liminal realm in which the body has merged with its surroundings.”**
