Kija Lucas's exhibition at Random Parts will include images from her ongoing body of work, Objects to Remember You By: An Index of Sentiment. We carry objects through our lives, attaching memories and meanings to them that surpass their initial usefulness. Something held by a loved one allows us to feel close to that person, even without their presence. While these objects can offer a sense of safety or closeness, they can also be heavy and difficult. When creating a place to live, we commonly introduce these objects to make our spaces our own and to remind us of what matters from our past. For this project, Lucas asks members of the community to bring in an object of sentimental value to be photographed. Please bring objects to Random Parts on the following days: Saturday, October 31st from 11-4pm Sunday, November 1st from 11-4pm
