Georgina Reskala's work is featured in Memory Works, an exhibition of work exploring memory now on view at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at University of Oregon.
"Exploring the concept of technologies of memory, this exhibition examines artworks that question the myriad ways memory works and the tools that incite remembrance, reflection, and dialogue. The artists in the exhibition adopt and share their own tools to enhance memory, interrogate it, and contest the ways we remember and experience our memories. Their work employs mixed media such as collage, dried leaves, string, coffee, paper, and photography.
Reflecting on the role of memory, another artist in the exhibition, Georgina Reskala comments, “A moment is alive each time we speak of it and remember it. And each time we speak of it we transform it. Every time I replicate an image, I mimic storytelling and memory making as I take a moment out of time, copy it, reshape it, transform it, or erase it. I am interested in the power of narrative and how it shapes our personal history as well as our collective memory.”
