I have long admired Sara VanDerBeek's work, but had the opportunity to hear her speak last week at school, and her works took on an entirely new resonance. I love how the structures are constructed just to be photographed, then are dismantled and recycled into new works, and in that respect function in the same way as memories. They occur, and all that is left in perpetuity is their image in our mind, which is equally ephemeral, then we create new memories out of the existing ones. Beautiful.
