Absence and Recovery
This work explores the often-elusive terrain of childhood memory, a space where the boundaries between objective reality and subjective recollection become porous. Familiar objects, bearing the subtle yet profound marks of time, emerge as anchors within this fluid landscape, their presence hinting at narratives just beyond conscious reach. These pieces investigate the interplay of individual perception in the reconstruction of personal history, revealing the inherent subjectivity that shapes our understanding of the past.
The works consider the nuanced relationship between the tangible remnants of lived experience and their frequently transformed representation within memory. Time acts as a powerful agent, subtly altering and refracting our recollections, creating a divergence between the original event and its subsequent encoding.
Ultimately, this exploration seeks to navigate the complex and often unreliable pathways between remembered experience and the actuality of what once was. It aims to evoke a sense of memory as a fragmented and constantly re-contextualised domain, where echoes of the past resonate, inviting contemplation on the delicate and deeply personal nature of individual histories.
