PORTABLE MEMORY SUSTAINER











INSTRUCTIONS
-OPEN JAR
-PRESS SUN TO LIGHT UP
-TURN OFF LIGHTS IN ROOM
-PRESS PLAY ON DICTAPHONE
-ABSORB

The project was sustainability. I asked people for one memory that they would want to keep forever.
This is an attempt at sustaining Harry's memory in a portable fashion. He told me of a time when he met a boy and they went sailing on the sea. They spent ages and ages sailing and lost track of time.
The memory is incased in a glass jar with paper waves, a light-up sun and a small boat. A dictaphone plays and its the original recording of harry re-telling his memory for me. With some bad, completely un-technical recording of acoustic music playing behind.
Its a piece to be carried around, to be kept in a special draw, its an instant happyness and a nostalgic treat.

I like the idea that perhaps all our memorys are kept in glass jars in a room somewhere. Or maybe its just how they're stored in our brain. They're only opened up when we get a smell, a taste, a blink at a reminder...or perhaps not.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS







A mission to make the quickest of exhibitions in the disused Allied Carpets Warehouse in Worthing. It was damp, disgustingly cold and had the smallest of smallest of natural light. All of which pointed to zombie attack to me.
In my excited (and slightly panicked) hunter-gatherer state, I collected leftover materials and objects about the place. Once gathered I fed my need to be productive by creating weapons/ cureres against zombies.
