A second-generation Jewish artist, born to German emigre parents, memory and identity are important concepts in Julie Held's art. Colour is also central to her practice, expressing poignancy and an ongoing preoccupation with the powerful yet fragile cycle of life. The 'Commemoration' of the title is not specified as three generations of women including the artist's aunt and her sister (who regards her own image in a mirror) gather together for a meal.
