From a series of 43 hand embroidered photographs following the entire path of the Berlin Wall.

Sections of the photographs have been obscured by cross-stitch embroidery sewn directly into the photograph. The embroidery is made to resemble pixels and borrows the visual language of digital imaging in an analog, tactile process. By using the embroidery in a way that is reminiscent of pixels, a connection is being made between forgetting and file corruption.

A theme that runs through my work is an interest in the porous nature of memory and the ways it can be disrupted and replaced by images as well the means by which photography transforms history into nostalgic objects that obscure objective understandings of the past.
