Fragility of Memory; I Sat Smiling.

While exploring the 'Romance of the Fragment', I embarked on a highly experimental continuation of my work with memory, and making it physical. Progressing from working with metal, I began to write sections of my memories from the layered text onto kitchen towel, and immersed the strips into water and ink. I chose to photograph the memories being immersed in ink so as to symbolise the ink as embodying the meaning of the text. In exploring this, I came across the idea of using ambiguity as a material, rather than solely as a notion. Thus, the photographs and films I produced all have in common materials and fixtures that communicate a weird ambiguity; stripped of all context.
