Are memories held in materials? That was the once question that stood out to me the most while watching this video in class. Do certain memories get triggered by the touch of a material, the taste, sound, smell, or sight? I feel that they do. There have been plenty of times where holding an object has brought back a memory, whether it be mind related or muscle memory. Like when I touch a basketball, I think back to how frustrating it was when my Dad was tryingt o teach me how to shoot properly. Or if I'm at work and I touch a tape gun and box, it's instinctive to tape up the box all the way, even if I know that I should wait because the customer needs to put a card inside.
I noticed that alot of what this artist did was semi performance based. Her art was about the act of making it, and not necessarily the art itself. She wants the viewer to empathize with what she went through to make her art. I guess that is one way to transcend the boundary between artist, art piece, and viewer.
