Lostwithall is a place inhabited by the remains of familiar, yet foreign, beasts; a tenebrous forest permeated by notions of faded nostalgia and unaccountable loss, where memory’s authenticity is overtaken by the incessant buckling of time. Creatures gnarled by the woods’ amnesia wither and decay, their skeletal forms disintegrating into delicate fibers, which tenaciously venture to reform themselves as impressions of commonplace objects. The works in this series are attempts to bind the loose ends of obscure recollections, which have nearly dissolved in the wake of memory’s transmutation. Each piece embodies the remaining husk of a single experience, like a piece of string tied around one’s finger for remembrance – a symbol of identity, worn as one is engulfed by the forest’s aphotic oblivion.
