My work Discard and Continuum, 2008
Nature.
It is the discarded memories that inform this work.
Residue is a series that explores natural growth, decay and renewal; one which records memory as tangible signifiers of a past trauma by impregnating its host with imprints of time and spent energy. This work concerns itself with the process of disintegration, the residue from that disintegration and the ritual inscription that is woven upon the surface.
