Artist's depict memories for different purposes. An artist might literally interpret an event as a record or they can show a memory in an unexpected way to change how people think about and understand an event. Each person remembers events differently based on their personal beliefs, point of view and relationship to the scene/object, therefore memories are always subjective. Knowing this, many artists use art to tell stories about personal and cultural memory that are open to interpretation, that reframe the past to show different points of view. This allows us to think carefully about our history, who's interpretation was recorded, how we view history and how to document history for future generations.

"Visual artist Pat Perry is often described as an “adventurer,” likened in the past to Jack Kerouac because of his itinerant lifestyle. He crisscrosses the country, documenting his travels through art, whether sketching a waitress in a diner or photographing a field through a window. He jumps freight trains, hitchhikes, drives a pickup and a motorcycle, has been arrested, had a gun pointed at him, and has landed in countless small towns, countless times. But despite all this, he wants now to set the record straight. He is not like Kerouac and never has been."
