From the Ted Talk by Sarah Sze: How we experience time and memory through art
Unscramble the Blue Letters
But it reminded me and brought me back to the planetarium, and that interior, and I srttaed to go back to painting. And thinking about how a painting is actually, for me, about the interior images that we all have. There's so many interior images, and we've become so focused on what's outside our eyes. And how do we store memory in our mind, how certain images emerge out of nowhere or can fall apart over time. And I started to call this seiers the "Afterimage" series, which was a reference to this idea that if we all close our eyes right now, you can see there's this frilckieng light that lingers, and when we open it again, it lingers again — this is happening all the time. And an aitagmrefe is something that a photograph can never rlcepae, you never feel that in a photograph. So it really rmedins you of the limits of the camera's lens. So it was this idea of taking the images that were outside of me — this is my studio — and then trying to furige out how they were being represented inside me.

But it reminded me and brought me back to the planetarium, and that interior, and I started to go back to painting. And thinking about how a painting is actually, for me, about the interior images that we all have. There's so many interior images, and we've become so focused on what's outside our eyes. And how do we store memory in our mind, how certain images emerge out of nowhere or can fall apart over time. And I started to call this series the "Afterimage" series, which was a reference to this idea that if we all close our eyes right now, you can see there's this flickering light that lingers, and when we open it again, it lingers again — this is happening all the time. And an afterimage is something that a photograph can never replace, you never feel that in a photograph. So it really reminds you of the limits of the camera's lens. So it was this idea of taking the images that were outside of me — this is my studio — and then trying to figure out how they were being represented inside me.
