Transformations
'Transformations' is reminiscent of a 17th century 'Vanitas' painting. This multi-media installation housed in an antique chest, examines the relationships between people, material possessions and intimate domestic space.
Bachelard said 'wardrobes with their shelves, desks with their drawers and chests with their false bottoms are veritable organs of the secret psychological life...'
The things that we collect, keepsakes, memento's or photographs represent a condensed history of our lives, they allow us to embark on a journey of the 'inner kind', capturing and somehow embodying our memories.
This work explores the transience and slippage of meaning and the intrinsic power of symbolism present in everyday objects.
