Artist Statement – Diane Eklund-Abolins

"Life layers experience upon experience, image upon image; and images constantly join and divide to make new images - the older we are, the greater the number of images.

Within the old person's collection of images, there is always his or her 'younger self' and, while the young person's older self belongs to the future, it has already begun to take shape in the present. From the beginning to the end, youth and age are always intertwined."
