Judith G. Levy's art deals with themes of memory, exploring the fleeting nature of individual experience, the similarities and differences between collective and personal acts of remembering, and how memories can be explicit or elusive.

The installation is composed of a monumental "cloud" made from white plastic photo viewers that hang on strands of metal chain. The viewers are designed to be held up to the light to reveal an image inside.

Each of the plastic viewers contains a unique photograph, drawn from a collection of thousands of found 35mm slides that the artist has collected over the years throughout the Midwest.

it is all very nice.
