I am concerned with the notion of memory and the imprints left on a place. Exploring how a ‘place’ is built from the remnants of intersecting parties, recycling history through the lived experience of new generations. This cycle of impact between person, action and landscape is something I explore. Taking placeholders of memory and representing them through a visual language of ‘manipulated appropriation’ in that I take objects from specific settings, adapting them within the studio to create work that has deeply personal resonance.

This I see this as trying to replicate the interplay between human and landscape. In a sense it's a form of carving of a name into a tree with a penknife. There is an application of self-history onto something with its own. My interest resultantly discusses the nature of ‘space and place’ and uses the dynamic of history and its effect on the landscape. Not only in an aesthetic sense but in the broader notion of social connection or what ‘home’ constitutes. My exploration into this topic comes at a time where my previously established local identity has been shaken by the destruction of a local landmark and the death of family.

Memory displaces the notion of permanence and through a slow erosion recycles itself. Concrete foundations being left instead.
