“Degradation of Memory” is an exhibition of works exploring how we, as humans, perceive memory and how we utilize photography as a means of expanding our memory beyond what it is actually capable of.  Photography seems to be a great method of 'memory' until you want to taste, smell or hear something from another time, and are left with only images.  By use of experimental printmaking, deterioration of imagery and use of foreign language and dialects, Shelby delves into what she perceives as conscious memory and how she remembers certain aspects of her recent life.
