Where do our memories live? What do they do to pass the time? In BBC’s Repair Shop people bring in old, broken objects that anyone else would throw out, but to their owners, these objects are precious beyond value, because they remind them of their past, of their relatives, of their place in the world. When they see them in their repaired state the people are overcome with emotion and feel their connection has been sustained.
The images in this exhibition come from a slice of time when I studied for a MSc Physics at Brock University in Canada and the background image is a page from the thesis. Every time we look at such images and/or reflect on them, our original memories have been affected by time and the new life experiences we have made and so our memories undergo transformation. These images are digital composites and collages and can be thought to represent a jumble of memories from that time
Some of these images have suffered with passing time, and I wonder if my perceptions, experiences and memories have also changed and keep changing with time.
