forget me nots / media memory (2024)

My mother wore a tattoo of forget-me-nots on her back. As a child, I found this fascinating -- the desire to hold on to memory engraved into the body. This documentation represents an iteration of my 6 month memory ephemera assemblage incorporating the Commodore 64. The signature blue color connected to my memory of my mother's forget-me-nots. I created an arm for the computer to reach out, fingertips of LEDs controlled through the Commodore's User port. This a beacon of lost time, blue electronic flowers that reach for my mother.
