8 feet X 11.5 feet. From October 11, 2012 to December 2, 2012 I built memories for myself in my grandmother's actual room at her care home and the parallel space of the same size and colour constructed in my studio. People in the space and our interactions form the substance of these memories.
The two walls were initially empty and as memories were made the object that could point to the moment were nailed up on the wall.
