"...I think we all have somebody who is dead inside of us. A dead child. I remember the little Christian that is dead inside of me." (Christian Boltanski). By means of fragmentation and deconstruction, my work evokes the recollection of childhood memories. I use traditional British themes for my subjects, images we associate with our childhood years that hold poignant emotional values. The viewer is invited to transpose their individual, personal contexts via mental process of recognition and reconstruction. In doing so it is my aim to regress the mind to a place in time we grieve for, a part of our lives that can never be re-lived, and to interrogate the authenticity of such memories.
