Abstract
Everywhere I have been, locality has shaped the subtle details of tradition, culture, design, and art. These aspects are engrained in the forms, styles, decorations (or lack there of), and materials of the bits and pieces that make up the everyday. Objects are linked historically to generational, cultural, and societal ideas. However, they do not solely live in the time in which they physically exist. Exploring time and memory through making processes allows me to draw parallels between the material and conceptual.
