ARTIST STATEMENT
Cast your own shadows upon my past, as that is what you inevitably do. For better or worse every second that passes and every action you take will always ripple around to every other soul on this Earth. For however frightening the concept of our own physicality is, please, sit and watch one person's memories. Watch them project onto and stain a clean slate, turning the invisible into physical, manifested illustrations before fading into one another. Imagine they are your own, because now they are. You have experienced my experiences and we are but a second closer to each other.
ARTWORK PROCESS
Initial combination of textile and paper patchwork to create a projection base, eventually painted white. 17 digitally composed illustrations using ink, collage, acrylic paint on leaves, tape sealed insects, and found natural objects as a basis. 8 illustrations display personal diary entries ranging in legibility, and the remaining 9 have varying combinations of picture and abstract text. These images were organised into a powerpoint and pre-recorded to have a screen time of roughly 10 seconds each, totaling in a 2:31 minute video loop that is projected onto the hung up white base.
