Gone but Not Forgotten
Introduction

Gone but Not Forgotten, Molly Must, 2011. Originally from Lobelia, WV, Must’s Gone but Not Forgotten captures a sense of memory and possibly nostalgia. The figure seated on the steps is an indeterminate age and appears lost in thought. The steps appear to lead to the door of a house, but the house behind the figure is far too small for the scene to be a faithful rendering. The strange forced perspective of the carefully stacked houses adds to the dreamlike quality of the work. The artist leaves the viewer to decide if that which is gone but not forgotten carries positive or negative connotations.
