Ava Ravich probes the relationship between memory and the physical remnants that those memories become a part of. Through reflecting on this occurrence, she has realized that flat, domestic, decorative surfaces are particularly susceptible to becoming a memory-host. These surfaces, even with decoration and ornament, retain their flatness, and the images that decorate become a way to realize their flatness, yet they also act as a way past the walls and out of the space. They become non-images in the way you look at and past them simultaneously—you fixate on them for so long that they take you out of what they are and out of where you are. The human mind is clever, and memories need to be remembered to survive. By affixing themselves to something physical outside of the mind they can survive, and these non-images scattered around our homes are the perfect hosts.
