Making a sort of cyanotype that equates to memory let me treat each image as an individual.

I've used these ones (which were origami cranes) to explore how we can share our individual memories to create social and cultural structures.

Through shared experience, shared memory, we connect with others.

We can influence these shared memories.

They in turn influence our personal memories.

'Sociobiographic memory' perhaps.

A star for Christmas!

'Star-Map-Star'

I used 30 old acetate star maps to make an origami Bascetta Star, lit from inside by its own constellation.

Now sky mapping is all digital, so turning the maps into a star emphasizes their physicality.

It also plays on the idealized notion of stars in our individual and cultural memory.

The star is about 90cm across. Part of the #AstroArt project with University of Southampton Astrodome.

Hi everyone! I'm a chilean teacher of History and Geography in a Secundary School and Licentiate in History, mention in History of the Present Time. Now, I'm studying a Master's Degree in Egyptology at the University of Alcala. I'm very interested in Cultural Memory, Religion, and War in the Ancient Egypt.
