Recollection
Recollection is about the world of our dreams. It combines the idea that our dreams stem from recent life experience, our reality, with musing about something slipping away. It is about the sensation when we wake up and can almost remember a dream, but instead only feel that memory fading and vanishing. We are momentarily aware of a different piece of our time, stretched and squeezed into a completely distorted timeline, that mysteriously escapes to just outside the periphery of our recollection.
The bubbles represent the fragments of dream and memory leaking out and floating up from our physical architecture of place and body. These floating moments explore a different way of thinking about time—having a physical form—and the idea that other types of time (possible, imaginary, forgotten, etc.) might exist. And where do forgotten moments from our dreams go?
Recollection was created in Adobe Photoshop by combining scans of paint textures, graphics and handwriting with digital photos and type.
