ARTIST STATEMENT
Essentially multiverses of personal memories, visualizations of trauma, and plays on our consciousness in time and space, Lost Sensations is an ongoing series that explores how paradoxical sensations can involuntarily overwhelm our body and mind in space at any given moment. In Ferdinand Fellman’s essay, Memory and the Timeless Time of Eros, Fellman shares writings from several poetic sources that uncovered the paradox of time that exists within the human condition. Fellman (2017) states, how we are all living in two modes, as actors bound to the clock as well as feeling subjects dependent upon experiences produced by our inner mind. He reminds us how powerfully and unexpectedly our physical senses can trigger and flood our consciousness with forgotten memories of our past.
Alternating between subconscious illusions and depictions of reality through objects of domesticity and nature, these re-imaginations of ordinary moments of a figure existing in personal spaces, honors our inner being and relationships between perception of time and desire, anxiety, and the notion of the present time as an imaginary ‘stream of thought' condition. Emotive lines mark traces of time and experiences as a map upon the skin of a figure, disruptive interactions and the scratching away of paint symbolize trauma, discontentment and the imperfection that life is. An array of silver gelatin prints are collaged into the surface as nostalgic sensations that exist within our personal memory banks.
