The Ruins

"The Ruins" reflects the erosion of memory through damaged and obscured photographic fragments. Structured like a collapsing archive, the work suggests traces of experiences that persist despite deterioration, where absence becomes as significant as what remains visible.

Judge's Comments Tina Wentcher Sculpture Prize

This work reminded me of my own personal need to constantly archive memories only to lose them to the passage of time. The use of slides, a relic of photography, is a true nostalgic representation of moments past and the idea of sitting in the dark reflecting on them gave me strong evocative sensation. 

The geometric construction of the work formed a notion of structures like homes as well as what one might imagine in futuristic system of memories. The burnout images sitting still for too long are washed away by the power of the harsh light illuminating them, like the loss of memories over the decades of time. An excellent arrangement of time, place and memories, very well conveyed.
