“Yesterday made me, and today I discover a new truth and secret. My work is a search through metaphors in the spaces of memory, the past and the present, spaces of the real and the imagined, memories that are both hidden and open. It is an attempt to conceal and mask, but also to accept, whilst simultaneously attempting to peel away the husk and layers that crust over the secretive stories embedded in the collected and found objects, and in the minds of people I have met and loved.”

Exploring my memory of emotional events as emotional memory is a special type of memory. Emotional memories often appear to be more vivid than less emotional memories. The definition of an “emotional memory” lends itself to discussion, as it can be argued that any memory has an emotional component. What is considered an emotional memory is a memory that has a distinct emotional aspect that surpasses some individually set threshold so that the way the memory is formed and stored is significantly affected.
