Cocooning memories, possessions, and practical rituals of everyday life, Erin Titus builds weathered narratives that challenge the association of home as shelter. Influenced by hereditary memory loss, Titus preserves packed compositions that echo the nostalgia of a keepsake while poking fun at the idea of objecthood. Precious rendering of repeated patterns and trinkets is challenged by uncanny arrangement. Ordinary objects collected from habit engorge space and create tension both picturesque and dissociative. The juxtaposition of collected memories in an unfamiliar space construct and tear down associations that create intimacy.
