Abstract/Summary:
The works in the exhibition Memories in Flux consist of a series of photo silk screen prints of pre-twentieth century Italian architecture, which were printed using modified fluorescent acrylic paints. The prints are lit using twelve four-foot black light tubes set into six stand alone fixtures with a minimal amount of ambient incandescent light in the gallery.; I took several digital snapshots of antiquated buildings. The photos caused me to reflect on foundational memories and experiences that I had from living in Houston. When I returned from Italy, I found that some of the images of buildings had imposing forms that reminded me of some of the time I had spent in downtown Houston because they appeared as the skyscrapers of the Old World.
