As if waking from a dream state, The Book of May Be explores the shifting nature of memory. This diminutive body of work, nested in a slipcase and wrapper, is a series of 2 x 2 inch diptychs, each in conversation. These images reference an old film strip, collaged from bits and pieces of story, sounds, smells, places and people creating a visual tone poem. Though we think of life as linear, it is always in a flow state, shape-shifting as in a lucid dream where time and place converge out of sequence and clouded recall.
