Seed of Departure

Pate de Verre

My latest series is an exploration of memory, of things forgotten and remembered, discarded and re-found. The feeling experienced in the moment between sensory input and cognition, that indescribable sensation immediately preceding conscious awareness.

I use images from the natural world of things gathered and cherished since childhood: feathers, leaves, bones, egg shells, twigs, and the odd mysterious trinket, saved as treasures to be revisited, to be seen and pondered during quiet moments; the inconsequential detritus that connects us to the enigma of existence; objects that when viewed evoke long forgotten memories.
