In her artist statement, Mary Warner undertakes to recreate the idea of memory by revisiting the repetitive and reflective nature of memory. Warner points out at the work “At a Loss” repeats the idea of the clay limb as visual metaphor, projecting the image of limbs on a limb, which she describes in language that both repeats itself as in “again, again, again” and also in the idea of pieces of a shipwreck that began ashore and continually return to the shore.
