(MIND)FUL-NESS was a project created for my Honours Degree. The inspiration for this body of work includes personal recollection and looking at photos to inspire and stimulate memory. By doing this, episodic memory is used to remember past events, procedural memory is used in every act that required a motor skill, and also sematic memory to remember certain factual details.
The concept is to go through the process of recollecting and using those memories to create visual representations. The recollection process of this work is subjective and self-reflective. The entire practical project consists of forty illustrations combined in an accordion-shaped book. The illustrations are displayed in a manner that the viewer can perceive all the illustrations at the same time (they do not have to page through a book) and thus the completed work can be seen as one narrative based on various smaller narratives inspired by memory. The viewer understands the work through reflecting on his/her own memories of the past.
As part of the exhibition I also created 5 black and white illustrations and printed a wallpaper with a custo pattern...
