Thinking about the current political environment in the United States, it seems many people are experiencing the same events in dramatically different ways. From the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to Harvey Weinstein as well as the president’s ever-growing list of accusers, women are being made to question their experiences and memories. I am also interested in the Rashomon effect and how people remember the same experience differently based on their own perspective. In this project, I am manipulating damaged digital photographic files to represent the distortion of truth and our inability to accurately remember without filling in the missing gaps with our own edits. I am layering these images much like we do when we remember past events.
