A Tiresome and Tender Preoccupation with Memories

The project A Tiresome and Tender Preoccupation with Memories is a representation of a number of concepts that have been consistent throughout my degree. My work focuses on autobiography, nostalgia and drawing. Interested in the intensely personal as universal, and the fact/fiction balance of autobiographical works, the content is drawn from personal photographs and found images. Translated through drawing, touch, meditation and the weight of coloured pencil led to a final presentation that involves mounted drawings on both two- and three-dimensional surfaces. Built after my own need to be 'amongst it' and spend time with the memories I might have and those I might not, the installation works to create a space to be amongst, to search and discover these images around these structures. In the end: I love art because my mother did.
