Abstract
This work is based upon the accumulation and slippage of memory in relation to loss. Through shifting line work and the layering of printed semi-transparent sheets of paper, I acknowledge the imperfection, selectivity and collection of thoughts and experiences that shape an individual. These relief prints are inspired by personal reflection on moments passed and relate to my life. My subject matter alludes to feelings of absence but also functions as a memory trigger, each object depicting a link to specific events. The viewer is allowed access to images related to my past but seen through the window of their own life experiences.
