Dwelling is Going

Abstract

Dwelling is Going investigates the fragmentation of Detroit’s landscape through a series of mixed-media drawings incorporating ink, screen print and graphite. The drawings respond to the processes of construction and erasure that shape the physical form of the city over time and are enacted through inhabitants’ partial experiences of these spaces. In translating her spatial memories of Detroit onto a two-dimensional surface, Emily Orzech reflects on the parallels between the construction of lived space and the construction of memory.
