Somewhere you are not.

My curent pro
For this project I have decided to continue to develop my past theme work on the of the effects of dementia. I have started to look at how memory is dependant on facial recognition.
 
For the exhibition I decided to show five photos. I choose these because I believed they were my strongest piece and that they reflected the relationship between memory and identity. The first three images link together with the same dull/green-grey colour scheme and subject matter. I decided to display these three vertically as the dried ink seems to be running off the photos.
 
I decided to leave a considerable gap between these three photos and the other two to fill the wall space and emphasise how dementia creates divisions and distance between people.
 
The two horizontally placed photos further down the wall are clearer than the others. This shows the difference in remembering memories and people but I was unsure of using these/or if they worked with the others. However I think these are the strongest images as the white/neutral space where the ink has dissolved creating creature-like shapes eating away at the faces in the photos.
 
In my next exhibition I will take into consideration how images/pieces of work together in relation to one another.
