Between Finger and Thumb
Between Finger and Thumb addresses the issue of memory within the context of the family and its domestic environment. Here, the camera is used as a tool for the re-enactment of memories within the childhood home, creating scenes that rely entirely on the symbolic value of objects as reminders of people, lost feelings and past events. While the project explores the complex mechanism of reconstructed memories, questioning the veracity of our own history, it also reflects upon the psychology of a space that is dear to all of us. A place that is also the theatre of more sinister matters as it shelters in its darkest recesses and forgotten margins the remnants of past conflicts and family dramas.
