‘Memory’
   

Whether memory serves us well or we wish to forget its shortcomings, the act of
remembering, subconscious or conscious, is intrinsically linked to our
understanding. We all struggle with our memory sometimes, misplacing a name or forgetting a face, perhaps choosing to forget aspects of my own life while holding
on tightly to others. Yet despite our fear of forgetting, we choose to bury certain
memories, while other moments are held aloft, defining our present
understanding. In this delicate dance between remembrance and insensibility,
our lives our shaped and re-shaped, an ever-evolving narrative we strive to
comprehend.

These memories we aim to dismantle present themselves via forgotten truths,
experiences we can’t seem to digest yet knowingly reconsider day by day.
Thoughts that, despite our best efforts, we cannot seem to resolve. These blurred
lines and differing spaces are where the exhibition builds its foundation. Memory
is where our secrets lie, displaced truths, whether spoken, seen or heard.
Memories alleviate and build upon the complexities of our understanding,
whether their ontological happenings assimilate with our personal opinions or
distant beliefs.

The show seeks to foster a collective understanding of memory. The Burrow
invites the audience to revisit their own pasts through the visual and auditory
collection of “things” on display, offering a space for introspection and
communal reflection.
