Vermont Memory Map
16" x 20" - cell vinyl acrylics on acetate
The Vermont Memory Map was created for a juried invitational traveling show of Vermont Artists. The show, of the same name, circulated the state in 1989. The concept was for the artists to put down their own memories and relationship with the state and to interpret the concept of a map to those memories.
My relationship with Vermont is grounded in the sense of place that I call home. I have
for over 30 years, come and gone, for work, for travel, for adventures, but always to return
home. The image of the pinball machine seemed to fit neatly with the idea of shooting out
to fly and bounce around the country only to return ultimately to the source of the propulsion.
The characters and images surrounding the Vermont pinball centerpiece remind me of those
places and events that filled and occupied my time and experience while the yellow brick road
always led home, back to Vermont.
