Assemblage of found materials is fundamental to my art practice. The process of assemblage imitates how the mind works in breaking down images and thoughts into fragments of memory.
For me, memories can be elusive because they occur at the crossroads of perception and imagination. It is at this interval where stillness happens and it is precisely where change and creativity are first realized.
I believe sculpture exists in the realm of possibilities between memory and expectation. My sculptures in this exhibition may be informed by memories, but they also inform my memories. Memory plays a role when a thought is turned into an action, that action in turn provokes thought. The putting together of different fragments and materials in what I refer to as a "thinking in materials" results in sculpture. I refer to this body of work as Memory Markers.
