Things Fall Away

0.0 x 0.0

Things Fall Away— I find the connection to others through a thing’s capacity to contain a memory profound. This piece is a portrait of my relationship with my father, the objects represent, as the title states, the things that fall away as we move through life. There is a distortion to my rendering, the way that memories distort, and with a lack of colour these objects begin to wilt into the whiteness of the wall. Making this work allowed me to focus on my relationship with my father, but in sharing the piece I find connections with others through long-forgotten objects and shared reminiscences.
