My wisdom teeth grew in as soon as I wanted to be a child. The volatility of time establishes a desire to document the moments that anticipate nostalgia.
Remnants and findings seek to represent incongruous fragments of time. Fragments may seem unrelated or become relics of a juncture or thought process. The accumulation in Dusk Replica: Internal Interchange follows an interest in mutually reliant, doubled forces. Interchangeability considers relational exchanges whereby object allegorises human relationship.
Captivated by the idea of a quiet, emergent queer approach to curating findings, space around, under and in-between work is as necessary to the work as the objects themselves.
