                         I THINK THEREFORE I AM:

                         (IN MEMORY OF….)




                                                   Ted Fullerton’s mother had Alzheimer’s disease and
                                                   he witnessed how it affected all aspects of her person,
                                                   as well as the impact it had on her friends, but mostly
                                                   her family. The phrase, “I think therefore I am,” was
                                                   coined by the French philosopher Rene Descartes.
                                                   In considering the implication of this statement
                                                   that defines the essence of an individual person as
                                                   it associates to belief, purpose and relationships,
                                                   Fullerton wanted to create a work of art that
                                                   symbolically aligned with the uniqueness of our own
                                                   identity and the “thought” of potentially losing that.
