Modeka Art is proud to present the first solo exhibition entitled “How to Assemble a Memory” by visual artist Julian Udine.

For her first solo exhibition, Julian Udine explores the fluidity and changeability of memory – how the things we remember contain natural gaps between them and how these spaces can be filled with our own selfhoods, psyches, and beliefs. It is within those gaps that we cultivate personal narratives as part of our basic human desire to assemble meaning.

For this body of work Julian examines the memories of her mother, who passed away nearly ten years ago. With a background in Psychology, Julian understands that human memory is subjective, edited over time, and changes to align with our present-day insights. She works to reconcile her studies on meta-knowledge with her recollection of her mother, which is rich in both detail and negative space. Because these spaces give way for her personal interpretations, Julian investigates whether these memories are a true impression of her mother, or simply a reflection of herself and her own familiarity.
