You are mist

This piece emerged from a curiosity about children’s complex and boundless worldbuilding and the nostalgia intrinsically linked with it upon reflection. The unique innocence that children possess enables them to create expansive and exciting worlds governed by their own set of rules. Attempting to emulate this world building in my work, I located the old animal figurines that my brothers and I played with as children and attempted to organise them like we had as kids. Photographing them with a Polaroid camera gave them a hazy feel, reminiscent of fading memories. Using the emulsion lift to transfer the photos onto found concrete allowed the images to rest on solid material. The relationship between both light and heavy materials allows the work to move between the fragility and endurance of childhood memories as well as convey the feelings of innocence and experimentation that fade with time.
