The work manifests as a textile-based
installation; the artworks are born from the fabric remnants we leave behind
and the potential within them.
Constructed or deconstructed from the ephemeral,
the pieces are translations of detritus that through layers of processes explore
possibilities of memory and history. Enclosed
in the materiality, object becomes a signifier, a vestige in which to preserve
a testimony. With each
of these layers of process, a tenuous thread connects them, which transforms, dislocates
and ruptures the rooted and ingrained narrative of past, present and future.
Each work exists independently but functioning
as a collective further dialogue is created as these forms metamorphose and
transcend into conversations, disrupting
or supporting one another and reinforcing the amalgamation and distortion of
memory. Textiles could be seen as an
extension of our skin and bodies. The
installation, a space or void could be a metaphor for the mind or the physical
place where we store our memories.
