“Floating Memories” refers to the original function
of a bell tower. By its very name, the bell tower resonates with stories. This
artwork consists of four different papercuttings hanging from the top of the
structure. Four scrolls (45.5” wide and 20’ long), hang from the
ceiling structure, each making two 10’ long flaps. The paper is black
on one side and white on the other. Contrast in light and shadow as well as
wind creates an everchanging visual effect. The papercuts represent windows,
each with a singular memory. Depending on one's viewing angle, scenes of some
windows appear in the background of others. Reminiscent of giant “papel
picados,” the black and white banners invite passersby to peek through
the windows and recognize familiar scenes in a different frame.
