"Photographs are often used to preserve memories, capturing the moment in full clarity, yet photographs rarely resemble memory, fragmented, subjective and abstract. These photographs were not shot with the hope of disrupting a moment through the time freezing power of the shutter but instead by embracing this process of cerebral decay, hoping to capture images of the parts that would sit in my memory rather than the parts I worried my memory would distort.
This project accepts the nature of a memory. I understand the circumstances and events around these images will fall victim to time and the subjectivity of the mind. These images serve as totems to spur the memory, like recognising a smell from your childhood or a song pulling you back to a particular scene. These images ignite the process of memory, not serve in place of it."
