My memory hasn’t always been a problem. When I was younger I had excellent recollection, and was amazed by how much minute detail I could recall. As I have grown older my memories seem to have faded and are not so reliable, I believe that this is a shared experience by many. Loved ones are forgotten; the memories that are left are mostly just the feelings and emotions from certain events. I decided to create films to question what happens to our memories. Can they truly disappear and be lost forever, or do they remain buried deep somewhere in the recesses of our mind?

My work involves the creation of film installations using found footage. I fabricate what can be described as ‘memories’ using other people’s recollections, and have aimed to create artwork that is in character with how memories are stored and evolve in our minds. Memories, I feel, are like a montage of tiny snippets of past events; and not necessarily the best of the event.

I trawl through reels of footage and have to be very selective about what I choose. Because some clips remind me of my own past experiences, I alter the appearance of these parts due to the emotions they evoke.
