The force and form of memory
Having been invited by Compass Gallery to participate in an exhibition exploring the importance of meaning and memory, the ‘Memory Stones’ became established. I thought of how we identify our sense of self with memory, how strong the instinct to pick up a pebble and hold it can be, and how memories are a collective experience, both present and ancestral.
