Remembrance Land

 papier-mâché, plaster, silver leaf, 2024

Arbutus branches, video | Mixed dimensions | 2023

Remembrance Land unfolds as a meditation on memory as both structure and flow, a space simultaneously imagined, constructed, and felt. In the first installation, a suspended blue papier-mâché form hovers like a nest in suspension, its hollows and porous surfaces evoking both neural pathways and the fragile architecture of a bird’s home. Below, round plaster forms coated in silver leaf scatter across the floor, reflective droplets that resonate with light, presence, and absence. Here, memory is conceived as something nest-like: porous, accumulative, and alive with potential, simultaneously fragile and luminous, grounded yet suspended.

The second installation entwines tumbleweed-like forms of arbutus branches with neuron-inspired papier-mâché structures. These forms converge and diverge, creating a labyrinthine topology reminiscent of neural networks or the tangles of recollection. On the wall, a spinning video traces a fluid choreography, mirroring the ephemeral, often surreal movement of memory across the mind’s landscape.
