About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a woman sitting at a table, holding a white cup. Behind her, a brick wall and a window with blinds let in dim light. The table has a few scattered objects, like a plate and a cup, and a wall socket is visible. The woman’s expression is serious, her gaze direct. The title hints at memory and how we recall things, but the image itself is simple and quiet. The artist used a mix of printmaking and collage in this piece.
