Places Study- Christy Petty

 I was thinking of places a lot the week we had this study and I kept thinking about places that were no longer around or memories as places. 

Lately I have been dealing with a lot of loss in my family as my only two grandparents passed away within a year of each other. With them gone, I lost the last tie to my childhood and as my uncles are selling their house I will no longer be able to visit these fond memories in real life. This lead me to thinking about memories as places. 

Artists who deal with this are:

Tracy Emin, May Dodge, My Nan, 1963-93

Rachel Whiteread, Untitled (Rooms), 2001

Susan Hiller, Monument,1980-1
