Equivalence

We tend to process and interpret experience in convoluted ways. Myth and fantasy spring from factual occurrences, stories are woven around events, our memories unintentionally dissolve fact. How can we ever rely on recall to be accurate? Ultimately all we have to work with, and learn from, are feelings, coloured by our recollection of experience.

The Equivalence paintings stem from old garments (most of which were worn by family members) that have been photographed with a pinhole camera, and are emotional responses to the garments themselves, their fabrics, perceived meanings and associated family folklore.
