Kenya Evans and M’kina Tapscott at PRH

This project explores memory, and the physics of time travel. Memory and time are intrinsically connected. A life can be viewed as a barrage of information. That information is encoded, stored, and retrieved in the brain; this is the process of memory. Encoding allows the chemical and physical stimuli of the outside world to reach our senses, and those messages are then stored. Storage requires the maintenance of this information over periods of time. We must then locate and retrieve that information to our consciousness. It is this tenuous process that can be altered by time; it is this malleable relationship that Continuum will investigate.

M’kina Tapscott is a Houston native whose work is informed by a desire to teach and create. She is a community based artist who also works in ceramics. Kenya Evans was born in Sumter, South Carolina. He received his BFA from Texas Southern University and helped form the artist collective, Otabenga Jones & Associates.
