Shimmer Effect, 2024

‘Shimmer Effect’ explores the role of memory in my creative practice through a meticulous attention to the surfaces of a hand knitted jumper and the lining of a dome tent. Through the insertion of delicate pins and the creation of a warp-like structure I have attempted to consider what I may learn from these objects. As natural sunlight shines into the attic space of Salts Mill the installation becomes an analogous landscape in my locality that shimmers with life. I relive the experience back into the objects in an attempt to capture the spirt of what has been remembered.
