Artists Statement

Since the rise in technology, it has become easier to stay inside on the couch, binge watching Netflix and checking our smart phones. Remember the times when your parents would force you to come inside for dinner? Now parents are begging their children to stop playing Candy Crush on their iPads. Technology has decreased activity levels, leading to greater health risks. Just a few minutes in the good outdoors per day can provide positive effects on the mind and body. Feeling tired? Go on a bike ride. Feeling stressed? Take a hike. Wanting to feel more connected with your body? Camp in the forest. Walking in nature recharges mental energy, short term memory, attention span and creativity. It also recharges your immune system. Spending time with nature gives you the boost you need to power through the rest of your day. Heading outdoors leads to an increase in creative cognition and faster brain processing.

Did you forget about nature? Stop allowing dust to build up on your childhood bike and hit the trails. Our old tent and kite miss us. We’ve neglected the things we used to love and sadness is what our old favorite outdoor objects are feeling. Remember Me is what nature and our dusty swings are saying, begging for the attention that they deserve.

Remember them.
