The intent of this installation is to map the innate processes of memory through material engagement with printmaking. Exploring juxtaposed concepts of seriality and destruction, this project aims to interpret repetition in the sense of recollection. Our memories, whether of reality, dreams, or inherited through stories of childhood, are stored in interwoven systems of the subconscious, and can be prompted to reveal themselves by unpredictable circumstances, unearthing unforeseen thematic connections.

This eclectic installation acts as a visual map of these internal systems, with recurring imagery and motifs, alongside imposed voids and areas of absence, attempting to emulate the intricate processes of forming, categorising, and recalling memory. Employing tools of repetition and fragmentation, the content of the prints aims to offset the familiar with the unsettling, encroaching on the darker, subversive nature of the subconscious that is active in dreams and imagination.

The medium of printmaking lends itself to processes of repetition and development of series, and the subsequent collage and installation of the work attempts to distinguish each image as a representation of an individual phase of memory, as it ebbs and flows from the actuality from which it was originally derived.
