MEMORY TOOLS

Actions of remembering, forgetting and misremembering

memorabilia keeping family narratives alive

autoethnographic beginnings of the tools

speculative, fantastical realisations

the relationship between the thing and memory 

a particular function relating to a memory process. 

 

The intra-action between the maker and the thing

the imprint of myself on the thing,

the traces of being,

signposts of the self

ontological understanding of how memory is experienced through the thing

material-led methodology

stitch, direct casting in bronze

textiles transformed in bronze sculpture 

post-casting treatment 

reinforces the understanding of how a thing intra-acts with other things

the role of memory in these transactions.
