Without Conscious Awareness
Digital projection on silk, paper clay and nylon line
A contemplation of unconscious memory; memory of movements like walking or climbing steps, memory that we rely on all the time but usually take for granted.
“Part of an appreciation of a reality”

Inspired by Wallace Stevens’ use of a rock as a metaphor for reality, this work explores the slippages between the real and its perception, and the real and its remembered version. We see things differently with every change of light, weather and mood. We interpret ‘reality’ in light of our previous experience and what is going on around us. Every time we recall something, we are again influenced by our emotions, what others have told us, the fading with time. And then these processes start again. What we end up remembering is not always the same as how things were.
