My work explores the degradation of imagery and memory over time, focusing on historical events such as acts of terrorism by Basque separatists in Spain. In response, I have created drawings, projections and image transfers as well as a short animation using receipts and thermal printing. These materials, like memory, are unstable; as the chemicals on the surface of the heat sensitive paper decay, my images will deteriorate, emphasising the fragility of remembrance.

Final work

  • charcoal drawing on paper and series of 4 images printed onto old receipts
  • series of 4 black and white images printed onto receipt paper
image of paper based sculpture with background projection

'Sindroma del Norte' final installation view

'Sindroma del Norte'

'Si Vis Pacem, Parabellum'

Research and process

  • orange projection onto charcoal drawing
  • image transfer of series of 6 mugshots onto wood
