“All water has a perfect memory…”
SITES OF MEMORY
For over two decades I made a career out of bringing ideas to life. My official, and unofficial titles included Event Producer, Project Manager, Account Director, overall multiple-hat-wearer and magic maker. In 2025 I began transitioning out of my career in corporate advertising, a risky but deliberate decision made in order to more fully, and freely, ground into my creative gifts, and curiosities.
In 1987 Toni Morrison penned the essay, 'The Site of Memory'. Through this essay Morrison explains, and illuminates, how writers, Black writers, confront and cope with historical traumas through literary archeology and the recollection of memory.
“You know, they straightened out the Mississippi River in places, to make room for horses and livable acreage. Occasionally the river floods these places. "Floods" is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering. Remembering where it used to be. All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. Writers are like that: remembering where we were, that valley we ran through, what the banks were like, the light that was there and the route back to our original place. It is emotional memory – what the nerves and the skin remember as well as how it appeared. And a rush of imagination is our flooding. ”Toni Morrison, The Site of Memory
SITES OF MEMORY is a liberatory offering
a menacing in a society built to keep us from collective growth and expansion. SITES OF MEMORY is my attempt, as an artist, to “reflect the times” ² and meet them by create space for our emotional remembering.
Currently, as we continue to bear witness to what is, and what has been, happening to us, and around us, we are presented with the opportunity to decide if we will choose the weight of freedom, as a responsibility. If we choose the weight of freedom, this begs the question that many are asking, “What can we do?”
What I can do is somewhat what I have always done: love, love as an act of care, and a practice of trust, consideration, respect, attention, and learning.¹
