It is to do with how all these materials, works, moments that at one point had a lot of invested energy. They were once intense, and focused for someone at one point and then they are left. They become dormant.
Implications arise in terms of authorship. It becomes a challenge for me and for a viewer to reconcile the notion of authorship and intent. I am interested in this kind of in between space (between borrowed and original) and how it is charged with energy and tension and difficulty.
I like the memory that can be invoked by these objects. There is a sense of melancholy in the failure of these objects. How they were once treasured, worked on and invested in and now redundant.
What also excites me about these objects is their potentiality. They are all often half finished, half realized. There is something open about this state that invokes a tension and energy of potential. It has to do with prompting imagination; they are hooks for what could be. But it is also to do with how something like a drawing, or a failure has a realness, a presence
