ABOUT VICTORIA'S PEICE

Remembrance is a series of vignettes about the living processes of memory: the unstable re-making and re-imagining of experiences and my inclination to document them. I have collected moments as souvenirs, the wind has moved them through my field of vision and then laid them to rest somewhere I can't see. I imagine that they are tucked away in that primal place where we keep the history of our joy and pain to recall it as it once was, forever.

Remembrance features music by Pocahaunted and was made with help and encouragement from Yuula Benivolski, Jennifer Castle, Lucas Cheong, Isla Craig, Jeff Garcia, Naomi Hocura, Guntar Kravis, Davida Nemeroff, Wolfgang Nessel, Jimmy Palferro, Jacob Sheen, Anna Silverstein, Zoja Smutny, Alex Tait and The Tranzac.
