the memory series
is an episodic body of work created by slowdanger using collected field recordings, writings, found objects and performative structures. With each work that is put forth, a deeper understanding is found through the practice of making. slowdanger generates a thickness of memory through filtering veiled remembrances until they are distilled to their simplest form. Repurposing their own product so it remains constantly in process. This ever evolving process is akin to the construction zone where inspiration was drawn for the name, slowdanger. Breaking ground to build upon the demolished surface. Using old structures to innovate a new concept or construction.

​
Memories are written and erased
defined differently in each envisioning and recreation.
the golden wheel calls to be pushed forward
in the journey, each being pulls on the string of memory
and is consumed
the other reaches in
to bring them back to the task at hand

Memory 3: swimmoon was also featured in excerpts as a part of the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater's NewMoves Contemporary Dance Festival 6 and the PGH Biennial at CMU's Regina Miller Gallery..
