When someone touches you and takes their hand away, what do you feel afterwards? Is that tingling warmth sensation something of them, or is it created in your body? What do you leave behind of yourself when you touch something? If you could see the imprint of your touch, what would it look like? "The Memory of Your Touch" is one result of my exploration of these thoughts. My vision was to make it possible to see what you leave behind and turn that ephemeral residue into something physical with weight, and yet light at the same time.

The piece is a 4' by 5' hanging rear-projection screen that you can touch. When you touch it and take your hand away, the impression of your touch is left behind and turns into something that is made of colored light yet has weight. It gently falls to the bottom of the screen where it bounces around a little and overlaps with the other touches that people made. Eventually your touch melts and fades away.
