All Memories Fade is an autobiographic story of my life’s recollections, drawing upon memories of my family farm in Eyota, Minnesota. This work explores a pronounced fear that developed after losing my cherished moments. The work includes two sculptural pieces. The first, a collection of hand-blown glass bell jars with silk images of the aerial view of my family farm encased in resin on a hand-built under-lit pedestal as seen in the right side of figure 1. The light from the pedestal only illuminates the bell jars, highlighting the distortions created by the resin surrounding the silk images. A substrate of silk was chosen for its glassy, semi-transparent quality, matching the clarity of the bells jars. The second piece is a hanging installation of flat glass plates known as rondels, made in the glassblowing studio. The rondels support wet plate collodion images and chemigrams or (staining marks) left behind by the wet plate chemistry. The installation incorporates a haze of light hanging just above the glass immersing the viewer in a quiet moment, and the stillness provides a place of peace to look back to my altered past and present. With the inclusion of light and shadow, each component of my thesis work is in service to a repository of memories I hold dear.
