People, space, and time are a form of identity. I identify with this moment and the space it takes up- with this person and the energy we hold together- with our actions togther and the statement it makes.
The final print is organized into six frames by ten frames, making sixty total frames. There are four total prints, organized to make 24 frames in a column: representative of tracking time. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.

I find that my own memory is purely visual. When I imagine a moment, person, place, or object - I see it behind my eyelids. The visuals are almost never stable, and always in motion. At times, light and memories conjoin, creating a complex image. That experience is displayed physically as “Phosphenes”.
Each “recipe” goes through the directions of how to “cook” the artwork. This is informational of the creating process from both a technical standpoint, and as my perspective as an artist.
Process is a big part of this work, using the experience of carving to guide the lines of the print. The lines flow in a way that mirror my internal experience of growth during the corresponding year; some fluid and circular, and some hard and sharp.
Much like my progression of personal perception, none of the prints could be corrected after being carved. The method of printing is to use one relief block that is continually carved into. This continual carve, print, carve, print technique displays every step that makes up the final image.
This display acts similarly to how I feel about the display of my identity growth over my 19 years of life.
Oftentimes music correlates to memories, and songs become associated with certain moments, people, or things in our life. This can cause music to spark visuals and extreme emotions, with sometimes no control. “Ear worms” is a visual description of that experience.
“Ear worms” uses the song “Uncle ACE” by Blood Orange.
