RECUERDOS: MFA Thesis - Metal

Abstract

My work revolves around the concept of memory, with a concentration in familial and collective memory. The objects I create have been affected by memory. The understanding of material choices, forms and construction have all been blurred and exaggerated to create objects with both familiar, grounded and distant, ethereal elements. In a similar manner as a photograph is a stagnant indication of memory, which is constantly re-written, the objects I have created are interpretations and reflections of these ever evolving collective memories. The use of technology is seen throughout my work as a constant thread in the creation of these memory objects.
