Recall

My project, titled Recall, examines ideas relating to unconscious self-expression and awareness. Through the forms of mixed media, painting, material assemblage, sculpture and video the investigation starts by collecting and exploring the use of ready-mades and found objects. By joining and manipulating the found objects with connecting processes, I transform them into anthropomorphic characters that evoke the personal through notions of their material components. These represent an archive of my memories and my preference for a kitsch aesthetic. My works explore personal and curious perceptions of the world and the absurdities in everyday life. Through making and remaking found objects collected from second-hand shops, dollar shops and urban environments I investigate how personal history can demonstrate the magic of the uncanny and build a strange narrative that questions the self. The individual artworks I have created inhabit together as a whole installation to suggest the domestic space and convey an idiosyncratic ‘homely’ feel. The method of creating has become an introspection into this disturbed life through the process of intuitive making. Through a visual language that resonates with ideas relating to time and memory I hope to depict the hyperactivity and strangeness of human conditions that we usually are not aware of in our daily lives. I invite viewers to find the strange, absurd and the ‘unreal’ in themselves.
