Selective Memory features a collaboration between experienced printmakers Toni Mosley and Marci Tackett. Selective Memory alludes to the idea that we all remember the same moments differently and only in small parts. Human memory has a narrative that is often pieced together and doesn’t always create a perfect picture of events; it more often fabricates a less than perfect image of the truth.
Featuring a number of collaborative works, combining the two artists differing aesthetics and techniques, the outcome is a whimsical selection of one-off prints, inspired by childhood memories. The exhibition also has an interactive component, as the artists have created a series of playing cards that examine the idea of memory further by allowing gallery patrons to create pairs of cards in The Selective Memory Game. Each card has a series of objects, textures and colours on them, and visitors to the gallery are invited to pick two cards they think correlate to each other. There are many possible combinations but it is up to the viewer to decide which pair to create.
