since soon after, is an exploration into the life-cycle of a memory. It is comprised of 15 memory-drawings, a sound piece, and a melting ice work with a live-stream projection of its change-of-state. The live-stream video is layered over semi-transparent 10-minute recordings of the ice and its proximate surroundings throughout the night, creating a fusion of past and present in the projected video.

How do conscious memories live inside of us? Born at each remembrance.
The process of re-collecting experience is depicted in all its transient and fluctuating intensity, encountering a psyche that holds more than a mere archive. Materialized of "pastness," memories emerge anew, shaped not only by our evanescent sensations, but by our ever-evolving record of them.
The ice piece, a melting drawing, complicates the notion that memories are static and fixed in their uncovering. The image of the ice continuously morphs and reveals itself in response to its surroundings, eventually becoming a non-truth, a memory.
The suspended "memory drawings" are the result of the artist's conceptual 15-day memory exercise: make a drawing on day one with mylar, saltwater, ink.
Every day after, attempt to replicate the previous day's drawing from memory.
Subject to reflective shifts and airy sways, each hanging piece creates a series of indelible moments for the viewer to find themself inside of.
The sound for this piece is built from a series of asynchronous loops constant repetitions that are also never the same. Subject to randomized modulations, each time a loop is heard, it is different: louder or quieter, closer or farther away. Made from nostalgic, emotional elements - the drips and crackles of the artist's ice melting, a daughter's voice, and a single guitar - these sound recollections shift and change in relation to each other.
