Randomly Accessed Memories

The “Randomly Accessed Memories” works combine traditional, hundred-plus year old, cross-stitch patterns from Romania (patterns I remember from my grandparents village) with new technologies, such as custom-designed circuit boards (my college specialization, which allowed me to find a new home in United States). They are inspired by the manufacturing methods of old (1950’s-1960’s) core computer memories, as well as by the ubiquitous prototype boards used by electronic enthusiasts to test their ideas.
