ISQ: Halftone Lockdown Volume IV
“A memory, becomes a conflation, a confabulation, I am Alice in Wonderland if I am awake at all.” ~ Bo Stanly
The FINAL of the four 60-page picture magazines in which I explore memory storage and recall; formed by data within our proximity, true and false, a memory is formed and stored as an engram—but also how these memories become imagined and conflated, when retold over time. How confident our lives when sewn together with the memory of our experiences. And yet over time, as we age we are shocked to find things aren’t always as we swear by our memory. These are pictorialized engrams.

ISQ: Halftone Lockdown Volume III
“Like a dream that I partially remember when I awake, these images capture me.” ~ Bo Stanly
Another 60-page picture magazine in which I explore memory as visual engrams (a unit of cognitive information imprinted in the brain [theorized to be how memories are stored] and that are rewritten and possibly changed over time with each revisit of that memory). Simply how our memories reshape what we think we remember and who we remember: what is the reality of a person, and who is that person when we find out all along that they were only a projection of our mind that we thought was them—and how surprised we are when they prove to be someone/something else.

ISQ: Halftone Lockdown Volume II
“Advancing on Vol I, another set of mental engrams made tangible.”, ~ Bo Stanly
A 60-page picture magazine in which I explore memory as visual engrams (a unit of cognitive information imprinted in the brain [theorized to be how memories are stored] and that are rewritten and possibly changed over time each time we revisit that memory). Simply how our memories reshape what we think we remember.
Who are we in this world but for our memories and the ideas that hold together our identity and from which we perceive and ascribe meaning to data we acquire in proximity and by association? The effect of family and friends with memory-depleting diseases has led me to wonder about and explore this topic through a body of work developed during the 2020 social restrictions and shutdowns. Volume two continues the exploration of mixing popular images, changing their context, and meaning, eventually the pictures themselves into new but familiar imagery. Memories of things that never were exactly.

ISQ: Halftone Lockdown Volume I
“A unique visual of confabulated memory’, ~ Bo Stanly
A 60-page picture magazine in which I explore memory as visual engrams (a unit of cognitive information imprinted in the brain [theorized to be how memories are stored] and that are rewritten and possibly changed over time each time we revisit that memory).
Who are we in this world but for our memories and the ideas that hold together our identity and from which we perceive and ascribe meaning to data we acquire in proximity and by association? The effect of family and friends with memory-depleting diseases has led me to wonder about and explore this topic through a body of work developed during the 2020 social restrictions and shutdowns. Volume one starts with the early images from this series/study.
