Artist StatementMy work engages with themes of memory and recollection as I seek to translate these phenomena from the nebulous space of the mind into physical, object form. I am particularly interested in episodic memory: our conscious recollections of people, places and events which are often linked to the domestic, the family and holidays. My practice also engages with the concept of the ‘memory object’: through an emotional attachment, domestic objects can act as a link to absent people through their ability to preserve and prompt personal recollections. Within my work, I use glass to echo various characteristics of memory, such as presence and absence, clarity and distortion, the fragment and the whole.
