Artist Statement
My work involves, painting, installation and prints.
For the past few years I have been intrigued by memory and its inescapable loss.
Like the ebb and flow of tides, memory can drift away on a wave.
I see salt as a metaphor for memory.
The saturation and evaporation of salt echoes the edge between our memory and forgetfulness.
In this exhibition I hope to realise visually the shift in memory from saturation to evaporation. I use salt crystals as a metaphor and indicator of the fragility of life and its subsequent changes through dementia.
