My work explores themes of the human experience and memory, and ways in which we navigate our experiences. Memory is a construct, a fabrication, manipulation, a desire to cultivate, capture and organize time. It embodies what is preserved, processed and collected in everyday life.
I’m interested in:
preservation, translation, sensation
modes of storage and retrieval
story-telling, history and myth
paramnesia: confusing dreams and memories
the hourglass, clocks and devices to measure “time”
chance encounters, “happy-accidents”
transitional objects; comfort in change
ephemera: accumulative paper matter
the ephemeral, the fleeting, the letting go
the dance of light and the blanket of shadow
memory-objects & how we imbue things/places with meaning
residue: emotional, physical- scars, traces, stains
artifacts: evidence that doesn’t try to be evidence
passageways: liminal spaces, the in-between, the transitionary
the role of the archive: fading paper & digital constructs
the idea of “glitch”, the temporary malfunction, the sensory overload
physical and psychological relationships to the human body
