Projected Memories (2000) is a 16mm film installation. Interviews about the dark side of religious experiences form the audio track while short visual vignettes of memories loop onto/ through embroidered cloths.  In this way, the installation investigates the powers of religious and familial hierarchies that continue to influence adult lives.  The three black and white film vignette loops are suggestive, but not definitive, leaving room for personal memories.  The three fabric panels are delicately embroidered with the commands: Devotion, Submission and Obedience and are reminiscent of altar cloths and marriage sheets.

Projected Memories was exhibited at the Denison University Art Gallery (2000), University of Kentucky (1994)
