Darwin R. Barker Library

“Memories and their Impermanence” by Kayla L. Prigg will be on display in the Library from February 19th through March 16th. Visitors are invited to a “Meet the Artist” reception on February 19th from 12 noon—2 pm. Masks are required.

“Memories and their Impermanence” explores the changing nature of memory and the varying ways memories fade. Each memory is unique in how it’s remembered, often affected by its relationship to objects and actions. The emotional impact of a memory on an individual directly correlates to how clearly and frequently the memory is brought up as well as the time between the event and the time of recall. This show explores these differences through a variety of pieces.

Kayla L. Prigg is a fine artist based in Buffalo, New York. She earned her Bachelor of Arts at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Her work has appeared in exhibitions at the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery, the Emmitt Christian Gallery, and HallWalls Contemporary Art Center as well as several online galleries including the Buffalo Art Wall, The Vacant Museum, and Light Space Time.
