Eric Sullivan: Microwave Memories explores nostalgia and memory through microwave-fused borosilicate glass, weathered wood, and found objects bearing traces of previous lives. The imperfect distortions produced by uncontrollable microwave radiation mirror memory's own constructed and distorted nature. Taking Elaine Sturtevant as both conceptual framework and subject, Sullivan reinterprets her practice of imperfect recall through his own material language — translating her ideas into glass, paint, and wood, redirecting repetition back onto its source. The result is a layered dialogue about authorship, memory, and transformation in which remembering another artist's work becomes an original gesture in itself.
