""As the space around me changes, buildings go from movie theatre to boutique grocer, music venue to vintage arcade, and my face does the same. Those memories-turned-feelings become a folding of energy that needs to resolve itself.""
""Mt Saint Helens The Movie 1981" functions like his own mason jar, collecting bits of childhood memory and letting them mingle in one contained space."
"The piece seems to suggest that even a natural disaster contains hidden, subterranean stories—memories embedded in nature itself."
Sean Christensen's exhibition Memory Foam at Never Coffee explores the concept of memory through visual art. Inspired by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke's film A Useful Ghost, the exhibition reflects on how memories transform over time. Christensen's work, particularly the piece titled "Mt Saint Helens The Movie 1981," uses vibrant colors and mixed media to evoke nostalgia and personal history. The artist connects his childhood memories of the 1980 Saint Helens eruption to the broader theme of memories embedded in nature, creating a visual representation of the passage of time and memory's evolution.
