Kacey's Artist Statement:
A single word, smell or sound can bring back a memory that has been dormant in my mind for years, but it is so fleeting and delicate that I don't know if it actually happened in my subconscious or in reality. I use bubbles mixed with ink to stain the paper because they themselves are delicate. Underlying the stain and drawing, I intuitively write about the memory. I draw into the stains, using the memory as a source, pulling from it the environment where it occurred and the thoughts and feelings that it invokes. The actual process of making the art is my way of working through this tiny echo of a memory that could have never even happened. Writing about the memory, treating the paper with ink and finally executing it with graphite is a way for me to savor one single moment in time and wonder why this memory that seems so insignificant is being brought back to my thoughts.
