INSIDE MEMORY

A sensory installation exploring how memories are formed, stored and recalled. Through light, colour, shadow, sound and scent, fragments of remembered experience emerge and dissolve. 

Drawing on personal recollections while reflecting universal stimulators of remembering, the installation becomes a continually changing environment in which no two experiences are ever identical. Like memory itself, it is fluid, shaped by movement, light and time, inviting us to notice the singularity of each passing moment.

Inside Memory brings together many of the threads explored throughout my practice: colour, light, sensory experience, observation, and memory. The project began with recalling the first piece created for the course: Disco Garden, a small experiment using dichroic materials and projected light to create an experience that extended beyond the physical boundaries of the work - see below.

 

When a former performance space became available for the final exhibition of my MA FIne Art, I saw the opportunity to develop these ideas on a larger scale. Working with light, colour, reflection, sound, scent, and movement, the installation invites visitors to enter a shifting environment where perception and embodied experience become central to the work.

The space can be a reflective and calming but becomes playful when experienced with others. Mini torches are supplied for extra interaction.
