Memento



Memento
Ball and thread
Materials: Yarn, Elmer's glue
Dimension: 2 x 2 inches

The memory behind this memento project is very meaningful, It was the very first time I met my boyfriend of three years now.  The first time I met Branson I drove over thirty minutes to a house in the middle of the woods I never thought about anything twice.  He's such a wonderful man kind strong sweet.  I choose to use a loose material that defines air, to represent myself a little all over the place, very go with the flow.  To represent my boyfriend I used the same material and wrapped it into a basket with Elmer's glue.  He is the stable one always confident and sure of himself.

It reminds me of  walking on the beach stepping on sharp shells,  Like the sand that sticks between my toes and the ocean waves that splash across my body one wave at a time.  I feel the earths sense of touch all around me.  As each wave surrounds my body I feel effortless floating through infinity.

The sense of touch is truly amazing.  Babies that are touched gain more weight this is crucial for a child's development. Every child deserves a mother or fathers affection.  After carring a child in your womb for nine months they are awaken to a cold crucial world.  It is important to nurture babies, touch can reassure they are safe.  "Touch is ten times stronger than verbal or emotional contact"(Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses).  I decided to draw this to show the emotional bond a mother has with her baby through touch.  She spends nine months touching her belly feeling the growth and bond develop over time.  It is truly a beautiful process.
