MEMORY TANK - by Martha Colburn - Mixed Media on canvas - 10 x 7 feet. 2022
Memory Tank began its life as a dark monochrome painting, left outside, exposed to
the elements, until it got striped and discolored with rain and grime. The central
image of the tank is barely discernible, as if it is camouflaged. In fact, the tank it not
entirely there. What we see as a tank is a construction of our mind. On the canvas is
in fact a collection of hundreds of images – skulls, civil war soldiers, animal eyes and
jigsaw pieces – collaged together to suggest the form of the tank. We rely on our
memory to connect the dots, drawing from all the times we saw tanks on the news,
wreaking havoc, instilling fear. The painting transcends the particular to symbolize
war and the way we perceive it.
