The residue of reality: a memory. Indistinct layers of recorded and unrecorded personal history stack so closely together that they bleed onto one another. The events superpose and simplify through a process of collage that functions similar to self-constructed memory’s fabricated, simplified, and overlapping experiences. The pressure of one another, changing the shape of each other, evolving with time. The result: a simulated version of reality.
I am interested in the influence technology, object, and repetition have on the way we collect and recall memories. As well as how this mediated recollection of memory often informs the construction and interpretation of our own personal identity and history. I aim to explore the overlap of documented and delusional realities that occur in my everyday life. I do this through a process of constructing my autobiographical memories into physical objects, experiences and practices. Phonological Loop places the viewer in an interactive, multi-sensory experience of audio, video, movement, and aroma involving an amalgamation of memorabilia and found/assembled objects. A reflection of memories, fragments, fiction, and the chaos of a multidimensional understanding. Dissected from their keeper, these elements come to fruition through their interaction and the experience of a third party— putting serendipity in the hands of the viewer.
