Leslie Sim – Big Boys Don’t Cry

Description

Artist Statement

Nostalgia often emerges through small, familiar triggers-a smell, a song, or the feel of an object remembered over time.
In Surface Memories, I consider everyday objects that carry personal resonance: a tin sewing box, a diner counter, childhood toys. These forms persist as impressions rather than fixed narratives.
The work reflects on how objects hold memory through familiarity, repetition, and time.
