contemplating nature
in memoriam
in memoriam (2015) is a mixed media work which juxtaposes built and found objects, and unrelated photographs. It addresses themes such as ‘the hidden’, ‘fragmented memory’ and the ‘remains of human lives’. The artwork seeks to evoke a sense of both the whimsical and the uncanny, inviting the audience to explore the object and make discoveries. This work, along with other smaller pieces, reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in the areas of emotion, play and narrative.

memento vivere / memento mori
Possessions of the departed.
Alluding to stories; inviting questions.
Objects to be kept; objects to be discarded.
Their significance understood; their significance lost.
