Artist's Statement
The principal concept for my work is about memory traces and the ability to memorise experiences. My pieces are multi-layered and weave together used and new fabrics, to construct and reflect my place in time, my reality. The layering illustrates repetition, recall and habit and is referencing how memories are instituted.
Circles are cut away from the surface creating an open lace-like structure that integrates the play of light and shadow into the work. The shadows add a transient layering and are important to the meaning of the work because they symbolise memory, so the viewer may experience the actual work, the concrete and the shadow, a memory simultaneously in real time.
Therefore, one has both the original experience and the memory, which is true but not completely identical to the original experience. -
