lost sensations
|
Essentially multiverses of personal memories, visualizations of trauma, and plays on our consciousness in time and space, Lost Sensations is a 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.
Further ideas surrounding the perception of time and consciousness that influence my work are also the relationships between perception and desire, perception and anxiety, and the notion of the present time as an imaginary stream of thought condition. Emotive lines mark traces of time as a map upon the skin of a figure, disruptive interactions and the scratching away of paint symbolize trauma and discontentment, while an array of nostalgic photographs made from silver gelatin prints become the unseen and miraculous sensations that exist within our personal memory banks. Alternating between subconscious illusions and depictions of reality through objects of domesticity and imperfections, these re-imaginations of ordinary moments of existing in personal spaces, honors our inner being in seemingly mundane moments, transcending our perception of time. |
