Through a subtle analysis of time and how it is perceived, Leslie Hewitt investigates the social and political meanings of events as they have become fixed in the collective American memory. Her pieces, full of social criticism, blur the boundaries between sculpture and photography. Avoiding any kind of direct narrative, Hewitt presents a complex layering of tensions and desires, questioning the authenticity of historical memory as well as the rules of form that define the nature of photographic images.
