This is a documentation of the exhibition Memory Lapse ( 2011 Carlina Goffe gallery ).The project was based on the ideas around memory and experience. I am interested in how we evolve over time, and how our continual layering of experiences and influences can be represented or catalogued. By proposing to represent this 'layering' with found and made objects the exhibition comprised of lightboxes, prints of stills from moving imagery ( not shown ) and the objects themselves ,incorporating light, which was triggered by sensor when the viewer entered the gallery space.
Studio Documentation : Hook
My interest in learning te reo and in Maori art has led me to appreciate the beautiful carved matau or fish hooks which became thematic in my series 2 Collage works. I progressed the hook shape from a two dimentional motif into a 3 dimentional plaster form. My background in ceramics and surface decoration therefore progressed into introducing 'pattern' by way of projecting moving image onto the form. Juxtaposing the organic hook form with abstract, geometric, grid imagery parrallels the overlapping of Maori culture and my european heritage.

This installation piece discusses ideas around how the pressured modern lifestyle has reduced our ability to communicate adequately, and how through the use of technology, we are becoming dislocated from one another.
