‘Reconstruction of Memory’, 2014

A joint show with Rachel Dickson

Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart

This body of work instigated during a residency at the Corning Museum of Glass, New York in 2014. As my work had previously investigated how objects can contain memory I decided to take a more scientific approach to the subject and examine where memory comes from within the brain. I became increasingly interested in the Freudian theory of ‘Repetition/Compulsion’, the idea that the traumatised person compulsively re-lives the original trauma. This body of work was subsequently exhibited over several years, and developed to incorporate the idea of containment within ourselves
