”I make abstract thoughts concrete and tangible and further alter the memory itself beyond what happens naturally. The pieces are based on memories that are specific to me but the moments and feelings are truly universal. Ultimately, by creating these objects, I preserve my memories, make the fleeting more permanent” – Amy Tavern
