A physique of labor in regards to the nature of reminiscence by artist Jay Wilkinson. Created for a solo exhibition at Bale Creek Allen Gallery final 12 months, “Free Dust” displays Wilkinson’s try and reconcile the truth that reminiscence is an imperfect file and the one fixed in human id past the current second. In keeping with Wilkinson, we base a lot of who we aren’t on what truly occurred however, moderately, how we felt it occurred. An inclination that may be each stunning and harmful:
“This sequence particularly is how we collect info for a reminiscence, deliberately or not. It’s how photos, tradition, promoting, stomach aches, music, tacos, or unhealthy smells could be the bricks. and the mortar is at all times emotion, creativeness, and worry. I constructed these photos as I might a recollection and rendered them with distance and arbitrary definition to make them really feel acquainted but indiscernible, like reminiscence.”
