​   There are actually two artworks here. The torso is called We are All a Work in Progress. The shirt is called John, Alan, and Jane too. which is a reworking of a collective family memory from around 1955 in an attempt to connect with my own family tree. See also:

- Montse Gallego. The Tree: Memory is what links us to terrestrial life, to the sense of space and time and to all rational processes. Without it, we would only live in the present, discovering the world and its wonders at each and every breath, but making us incapable of survival. Memory creates and re-creates us constantly, adding pieces to its infinite puzzle every second. Being selective to avoid such overwhelming information, memory is also creative, building a different universe in each mind. That is why memory is both what unifies us and what separates us. In The Tree memory is presented in the form of pages from my diary being printed and blown up on different types of paper, joined together, painted over, written over, overlapping each other... These pages have transcended their primal purpose (personal reflections) to help me to find another type of memory that exists beyond me: the one of the archetypes and symbols, the one that belongs to the collective memory and in doing so, directly reaching the viewer. My own memories were not the subject of the painting, but they were the objects used to open the door : 'just forgetting, we are able to reach the essential knowledge'. http://hundredyearsgallery.co.uk/the-floating-world/ _____________________________

- Jo Roberts: Diary to Mimir. This is my diary. It was started when I was invited to exhibit at the Memories exhibition last autumn and it ends on the day it was hung. It includes musings, sketches, childhood memories, descriptions of what I experience during epileptic seizures - which I often refer to as “turns” - stories from mythology, medieval monsters, hallucinations, lots of mentions of plants and insects and a recipe for getting rid of plant mites. Some of the pages had bleach accidentally spilt on them which has meant the text has disappeared, rather like a fading memory. I decided to call it a Diary to Mimir because he was The Rememberer in Norse mythology. _____________________________

- Jill Rock: The Memory Clinic The outer layer is the world outside here seen as a collection of other people’s ideas on memory; then there are the objects which carry memory igniting them in our minds signified by the mirrors which are in fact images of things past reflecting back to us in the present. In this process we re-imagine and use them for ways to act in the here and now. The dance ball - I have always seen it as one of my symbols - multi-facetted, continually receiving and reflecting with a dark empty centre - Buddhist friends say that the dark vacuum at the centre is not a personal aberration, but apparently central to Buddhist thought – but not being a Buddhist, I have never gone along with the idea of the single identity thing. https://rbs.org.uk/artists/jill-rock http://cargocollective.com/JillRock/CV _____________________________

Wonderful website

2/6/2018

 
Just catching up with Chris Lynn's wonderful website - I've been enjoying his Walk and Potomac series of films, and there are lots of other gems there too - a perfect antidote to staring at likes on the cellphone or mobile, as one walks, impervious to the beauties of the outside world.
