Some of the strongest memories are connected to simple pleasures.
A marshmallow can mean a campfire, a family gathering, a mug of hot chocolate, or a childhood treat that seemed far more special than it actually was.
American Material Memory doesn’t require an important object. It requires an object that was present when something mattered.
From the Artist:
This was the second marshmallow drawing I made from those childhood memories of roasting marshmallows over a fire on bent coat hangers.
There isn't much to a marshmallow visually. It's basically a white, puffy cylinder. Which, of course, makes drawing one convincingly much harder than it looks. Especially if it’s on fire.
But I wasn't really interested in the marshmallow.
I was thinking about the fact that we got to eat some. And if they didn’t catch on fire first, half the time they’d fall into the fire and be lost forever.
Maybe this drawing is in memory of those marshmallows that couldn’t be saved.
