UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS:

Inspired by the popular children’s matching game, The Memory Game exhibit is a set of archetypal memories, glimpses of experiences from all stages of life, from the mundane to the extraordinary, from birth to death. These memories are shown as pairs of projected images, randomly combined, to form imagined narratives that interact with the viewer’s own set of memories. Like our own experience of memory, colored by filters of emotion and life context, these photographic images are colored by layers of skyscapes and landscapes, sometimes obscuring, sometimes highlighting the view. The projections are shown in a unique, double-walled tent, built by the artists as an insulated, womb-like space for contemplating the nature of memory.

The smell of the outdoors pervades the air as viewers approach the ethereal monolith of the tent, glowing against the orange walls of the gallery. The walls of the tent are filled with cuttings of native plants, creating intricate shadows and subtle movement against the canvas. The influence of sight, sound, scent, space and light are all elegantly manipulated to encourage memory recall, and through interaction with these archetypal and yet highly personal elements, viewers can explore their own ever-changing landscapes of memory.
