Artist Jerry Meyer

(WTNH) - The Memory Box series follows in the artistic tradition of collections, constructions and assemblages. The first work in the Memory Box series, Six, is about loss: "deep sixing," throwing overboard, getting rid of. The fragments of text and photos appear tossed into a wastepaper basket. Some of the others, like The Road to Thebes and The Hidden Meaning of Dreams, are more playful. All of the works share the concept of reassembling particular events, objects or psychological constellations. All of them are an attempt to express the art of nostalgia.
