SCRAPBOOK MEMORY

A Memory of Scraps of Books :

Random books I read more than five years ago, described purely from my memory in any voice, form, language, detail – whatever thought – that first came to mind. Through my love of literature plus art, this notebook represents how no two human memories are alike, and the erasure, corrosion, distortion of memory that comes with time (akin to Dali’s “Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory”).
