In her solo debut, All The Way Home, Apstein moves between memories of her own childhood and the memories her young daughter is beginning to create. Dreamlike vignettes blur past and present, exploring memory as something inherited and continually reshaped, and the people, places, and fleeting details that become part of who we are.
