Abstract
You or Your Memory is written as a parallel text to the body of work completed during my time at graduate school, specifically the works on paper made during my final year. This thesis discusses personal narrative, process, and materials as they relate to the works shown in Herter Gallery in April 2012 under the name You or Your Memory. Specific topics include time, relics, and personal memory.
