Memories lie dormant until needed. If we do not or cannot recall them, they are forgotten. My sculptures spring from a personal incident of forgetting, one where I could not recall the details in a photograph from a family album. There is much writing which explains photographs with extended physicality (frames, jewellery, alters, etc.) embed memories into our brain more successfully. My sculptures attempt to re-engage with the forgotten by creating physical manifestations of the gaps in recall in photographs. I recreate the forgotten elements to reconnect with an experience, to drag it back from the pit of forgetting and reset it into memory. A speculative process certainly, but one that has helped draw me closer to the forgotten.
