"My work examines snippets of memory, attending to each one, no matter how momentous or inconsequential. "

Diane Walker-Gladney's work is based on memory and the notion that certain events, moments, or conversations embed themselves in our consciousness, while others simply flow through. She is fascinated with the idea that although we are inundated with multitudes of experiences, only a select few remain with visceral integrity.

Each piece begins with a stream-of-consciousness drawing that represents a particular memory. Layers of glazes are added, obliterating some markings and giving preference to others. These glazes add a multidimensional quality and are symbolically significant in representing the passage of time.
