Mind's Eye MFA Thesis Exhibition by Sammi Eady

Mind’s Eye is an exhibition revealing the contention between how the mind and the body remember a space.

From childhood homes, first jobs, and card games, landmarks from my past are mapped through ongoing perception rather than fixed recordings. Relying on mind palaces and other mnemonic devices, both somatic and psychological approaches of visualization result in mixed perspective landscapes. Vulnerable fabrics bunch with memory. Artifacts extracted from these mappings indulge in their permeability.

Mind’s Eye is a metaphysical world in which memory is re-imbued into the blueprints of its infrastructures, embracing the distortion of perception that happens during repeated recollection.
