A Pile of Stones
Lino Cut Prints
I have been inspired by the spirituality of Poland, or more perhaps the sense of the importance of commemorating the past, embracing memory and physicalising those memories somehow; through candles, flowers, or in the Jewish tradition, placing a stone by the grave or memorial of that which you wish to commemorate. So I decided to create free-thought prints to make into a book, something to take away from my year in Krakow and to build on, on my return. By free-thought I mean just random images that have come to me whilst being here and about being here, thinking about my practice or patterns, objects and issues that I recognise here, and also things that I have no idea where they come from. Its a freeing process because I don't have to think about these prints being conceptual or having some kind of deeper meaning. They are just thoughts, I suppose like a visual journal, but I like to think of it as a memorial; a compilation or catalogue of memory and thought.

The Body Immemorial
My films and photographs using these distinctively Polish grave candles led me to thinking about what they represent, what they stand in place of. I was trying to identify that invisible something in these offerings to a memory, a person, an event. But really they do not represent something that is present but invisible, they act as a physical sign for something that can no longer be physical. Essentially a physical body. They re-physicalise the deceased body, allow it to have a physical presence and to be remembered. Like a grave stone. And this is what I have started to consider as a part of my painting workshop, largely through the combination of the body and wax.
