12 Variations of an Uncertain History (2020), double-sided screenprints on folded paper, 5x15 inches each


There are memories that stick with us for unknown reasons. Many of which exist without context but form our understanding of ourselves. 12 Variations of an Uncertain History is an exploration of these memories. Consisting of 12 individual prints, the project draws on my memories to create a series of text vignettes reflecting on my religious, rural upbringing. 12 Variations of an Uncertain History explores the complicated ways in which we relate to places, memory, and experience without trying to define them.

The project is designed to be interactive and exists both online and in person. The prints were mailed out to the first twelve people that requested one and documentation of each print was posted online once it had been claimed.
