-Fatemeh Shams,\u00a0Hopscotch<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n How do you relate to memories? For most of us, the answer to this is complex. Memories make up our lives and allow us to see how we have lived. But they can come with equal amounts of joy and pain, often both blended together. Anyone who has experienced loss is likely grateful for the memories they keep of those who have departed, but revisiting these can bring fresh grief. Even memories of childhood can come with a complicated package of emotions. Memories are a tricky business \u2013 on the one hand a benefit and even a blessing, on the other a potential source of heartache and confusion.<\/p>\n Margaret Cogswell<\/a> joined us to talk about her site specific mixed-media installation, Karasu to Isshoni Kaerimasyo<\/em><\/a>, on view until October 27 at mh project in Japan.
