What: "My early lathe work with pencils originates from an interest in memory. My mother had recently died and she had suffered significant memory loss during her illness. Her illness made me question, where do our thoughts go? Working in my sketchbook, I realized that graphite was a good visual metaphor for the way our brain works. The smear of graphite is like memory, always fleeting, never permanent."
