Artist Statement:
Four 7′ high by 2’x2′ square white wooden “Memory Columns” are placed throughout the metropolitan area. The columns provide permanent marker to induce dialogue from passers-by. A physical and virtual social interaction develops around each column, as thoughts and sentiments flowing by are deflected from their usual path and are projected onto the column.
