Masking Tape Artist Kayt Hester To Debut “The Elegant Science of a Memory”, a Solo Show at LITM

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 10, 2012 - Kayt Hester will be returning for her third solo show this August at the Jersey City-based gallery and lounge LITM.  “The Elegant Science of a Memory” explores one’s remembrance of past events and how this experience can serve as a reward or punishment in the present.  Hester’s artwork will serve as a visual catalog of her travels throughout Eastern Europe and reflections of her hometown during a time of optimism.  Many of her pieces will be based off photographs taken prior to the events of September 11, a time in which she worked as a professional photographer and felt oblivious to the changes to comes.

Another key element of the show will center on forming attachments to objects by searing its memory in your mind’s eye.  This concept will be represented by a series of umbrellas and a story handed down years prior about the importance of naming physical objects so as to not treat them carelessly.

“The Elegant Science of a Memory” will debut on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 from 7pm until 10pm at LITM, located at 142 Jersey Avenue in Downtown Jersey City. Hester will be designing a special masking tape tapestry for the event’s photo booth.  A percentage of proceeds from this piece will benefit the Hudson County Animal League, along with limited edition collectibles.
