My work is best described as a collection of time capsules, with varied medium I attempt to represent hints of memories and preservation, linked strongly to diseases such as Alzheimer's. Historians suggest that the most useful time capsules are those that represent everyday life. Snippets of a real life in personal photographs, letters and journals are rich with information, rather than a bland collection of anonymous objects. With my work I try to reveal a story, giving history to a person, place and object. I enjoy working with found objects and developing a history based on their appearance and where they were found. With this my work become site specific, influenced by an objects surroundings and information I pick up through people and research. Other materials I use are often influenced by this research. Through the use of drawing, sculpture and text I take the viewer on a journey through the development and preservation of memories to the inevitable failure of memory and misinterpretation.
