The Color of Memory: First Edition Hardcover

Description

The book is a sampling of the thousands of color-specific memories shared at Amy Stacey Curtis’s major interactive exhibit “The Color Of Memory” in Westbrook, Maine’s former high school gym. As the 2022 University of Southern Maine Artist-In-Residence, Curtis built a neighborhood—each home, its yard, and possessions, a different color (orange, yellow, blue, white, black, light pink, green, red, and light blue). Participants were invited to write memories sparked by these specific colors, to enter these homes and to scribe memories in the homes’ respectively colored books inside.
