EMPTY MEMORY, 2023
This work combines historical science with artistic methods to explore the intertwined realms of memory, history and narrative construction; highlighting the bizarre complexity of the subject of history as a science.
By exploring the narrative of creating ceramic vessels as a research methodology the author analyzes the non-linear, fragmented nature of the resulting research. This personal narrative resonates throughout the work. This work also aligns the science of history to the water that molds the vessels and weaves the feelers through the concepts of memory perspectives of historiography and the role of silence in remembrance.
By sculpting the vessels, this interdisciplinary research offers a perspective on the shaping and experiencing of historiography. It presents the inclusion of artistic practice by introducing a sculptural space of memory containers in which (alien) beings come to life and wait to be filled with new memories.
