About the work

A closer look.

Hand me one memory. A place, a person, a room you can still stand in. I build it as a light fixture in a dark room, then give it a low flame that moves the way a real flame moves. Two to five seconds of it burning, on video, yours to keep. I also etch its name into the glass. Not a label: the name the memory actually has, worked into the leaded pane so you have to look twice to find it. That part is the point. A memory with a light is a keepsake. A memory with its own name on the glass is a thing that was always yours, finally labelled. What you get: one high-resolution still of the lit fixture, and one short video of the flame at rest and in motion, delivered within three days. One revision included. What I need from you: the memory in a few sentences. Ordinary is fine. The good ones usually are. No image of a person will be reproduced or edited. I build the fixture and its light; what the room is for stays yours. Hand me the memory and we'll find out what it looks like lit.
