Memory in Motion brings together Daniel Giordano and Ruby Perkins in an exhibition that considers how we might rewrite inherited memory through the act of making. Both artists work with what lingers — objects, photos, and personal histories — yet their approaches diverge in tone and form.
Giordano twists the dysfunctions of family and place into sculptural assemblages that are jagged, humorous, and unruly, pulling absurdity out of the residues of his upbringing. Perkins turns toward intimacy and tenderness, layering family photographs and artifacts into paintings and drawings that open spaces of reflection and connection. Together, they show memory as fractured, fluid, and alive. The works highlight how memory shifts over time, unreliable and constantly reshaped by the stories we tell and the materials we hold onto. Giordano exaggerates and distorts, turning dysfunction into absurd vignettes, while Perkins pieces together traces with care, building moments of intimacy. Their dialogue suggests that memory is never fixed but always in motion, continually assembled into new forms of understanding.
