I’ve found that repetitive and iterative processes, such as copying, tracing, and rewriting, can lend a kind of lastingness to a thing – a word, an image, or a mark – suffusing it with more weight and importance with each recurrence. These actions also allow the thing to subtly shift and change, to become more nuanced, and so become more mine in some indefinable but intimate way. The loss and transformation inherent in these iterative processes mirror my attempts to preserve my history, existing as it does in disparate and disconnected pieces, but also the futility in doing so.
