Exhibition Info
In any way I can explores the home as a site of memory, investigating loss and identity through material and spatial remembering. Drawing from a personal family archive, the work considers absence and presence, constructing a material dialogue between ‘then’ and ‘now’. Using both photographic and sculptural techniques, the work employs materials which are mapped into memory—such as the tiles that were once behind the wood stove or the raspberry bushes in the backyard—the installation engages with emotional geographies, exploring memory through image and form. Additionally, materials from the current home interact with archived objects, creating connections across time. The work traces the transformation of past physical homes into inner landscapes, evoking layered narratives of place, loss, and belonging. It observes the histories of objects which were once attached to these places, the people we see in them, and the relational aspects and discreet narratives that emerge through their presence.
