Bridgette Bramlage: Future Memories
“We are all wishful creatures, and we wish backward, too, not only forward, and thereby rebuild the curious, crumbling
architecture of memory into structures that are more habitable.”
-Siri Hustvedt, Memories of the Future
Future Memories includes pieces from two ongoing series: Factory Girls and Trad Wives. Both are explorations into remaking mid-century images into cautionary tales and fantastical objects. The act of cutting, assembling and layering historical content frees it from the original biases and rigidities traditionally built into commercial marketing and advertising.
Each creation becomes an exercise in looking back. Simultaneously observing cycles of society and memorializing their absurdity to create modern composites of recollection.
