Undulations of Memory is an MFA thesis exhibition of the recent work of Lauryn Smith. It consists of one large textile sculpture, Wave. The work explores the artist’s relationship to nature, water, memory, and movement through craft and the material practices of sewing and dyeing. Wave is built of memory⁠— memories of experience, memories of shape, memories of the hand, of its submersions, of feelings and sounds, of ways of being.
