≡ Received a Special Mention and noted by founding director David Handley as one of his favorite works in that years exhibition.
The Sculpture by the Sea exhibition features about a 100 sculptures installed along the Bondi to Tamarama walk in Sydney. cellular memory was installed on the stormwater outfall on Tamarama beach.
statement:
In this white threading, cellular memory speaks of its place by the sea where it is installed, while holding the memory of a place far from here… In its first threading at Montalto 2011, it was threaded with orange (see here), which itself referenced a previous work.
Our contemporary world encourages us to package memory, most usually in some sort of rectangular device: a camera and then a frame – this works speaks of the cellular quality of memories – external or digital boxes or brain cells(neurons) gathering together to make and hold a memory.
