The Re-remembering Tool

This work is part of the collection: Memory Tools investigating the nature of memory- the remembering , the forgetting and the mis-remembering. The Re-remembering Tool works with the Cramp the Joints Tool. Once the memory has been captured by the Cramp the Joints, the memory can be refigured into more agreeable memories. The user can manipulate the past into a more acceptable and manageable.

Media: Bronze, silk, cotton thread, hair, magnetic strip, wire, DIY Hardware.
