Artist Statement:

This assignment was to recreate a a memory in the form of a palm sized keepsake. Only three materials were allowed to be used to recreate this memory. The memory I chose to to use is coloring in the backseat of an uncomfortable car when my family drove from New Jersey to Vermont. I used the wood shop to cut and sand four pieces of wood (one for each member of my family). I glued the four pieces of wood together to form a shape that resembles the backseat of a car. I drew with black ink on white paper to represent the pages of the coloring book. I then carefully cut and glued the paper to the wood.
