“Directory of a Perfect Summer Day,” single-channel HD video, 5:00 minutes. This digital recreation of a directory from Gwinnett Place Mall, Duluth, GA, shows maps of stores and locations I used to visit daily. Each element is hand-drawn from memory, animated, and paired with text I wrote describing specific memories of a typical 12-hour day at the mall. @tweedmuseum Tweed Museum Hours Tue.—Fri. 10am—4pm Sat.
