Without Memory We Are Nothing

Andrew ROGERS

About this book

Speaking on the artwork (Pillars of Witness)…Rogers reflects that the sculpture took months of “thought and activity” two decades ago as he consulted survivors and developed 70 panels depicting the stages of the Holocaust. Rogers “wishes to establish a positive and open relationship with viewers, but if the occasion demands he is willing to confront them with unpalatable facts” with the sculpture’s figurative, “combination of documentary panels.” “It is still a resonating experience many years later,” reflects Rogers. “The sculpture is about memory for without memory we are nothing.”
