A short film combining time lapse and realtime footage that documents the installation of "Memory", an exhibition by Medway-based artist Wendy Daws. The exhibition features a series of acrylic installations on the subject of memory and narrative told through light and shadow. The viewer is encouraged to study the work carefully, to play detective, in order to discover the stories hidden in the artworks.
A continuous memory blanket (a contemporary tapestry) features the artist's inter-related personal experiences. Individual episodes are linked by threads - the ties which bind us - illustrating how Wendy perceives a sense of interconnection between the people and events in her life. In contrast, smaller pods focus on a single subject or story. The semi-circular shape of these pods embrace the viewer, allowing shadows to fall upon them, drawing them into the narrative process. A series of contemporary portraits, inspired by Victorian silhouettes, will be on display along with Wendy's emergency jewellery kits in the craft case room.
