This piece explores the fleeting nature of memory. The form is made up from strands of rope and refer to the Incan QUIPU (a Quechua word meaning knot) which is a method of relating and remembering and recounting. Connecting the ropes are white dashes, (that relate to grammatical punctuation) on which are decals of butterflies, thus memory is seen to be recounted and passed on, but fleeting and transient simultaneously.
