The Bonsack Gallery presents "Memories Reconstructed", a mixed media exhibit featuring Rebecca Orf's latest work. "The photographic process allows me to instantly capture an image that I want to remember--whether it is a thought, feeling, or quality." For this reason, most of her work begins as a photograph. Layers of various media including cloth, paint, graphite, and found objects are added in order to futher record the subtle visual and tactile qualities of her ephemeral images. Certain images reappear in her work to the point that they become icons. Memories Reconstructed features an exploration in the use of alternative photographic processes in combination with various media that appear as fleeting moments, dreams, and memories.

The Bonsack Gallery is a non-profit gallery located within the main building of John Burroughs School at 755 South Price Road, St. Louis, MO 63124.
