*saudade

There is a place of solace, a recurring backdrop – a seashore – evidenced in ‘saudade’. Made of thousands of plaster casts of objects, organic and manmade, found on the beach, it proposes that remembrance is not the objective replica of things, but that it yields a new entity. Some of these casts, these engrams of memory are clearly readable, some are eroded by sand and water. Drifts of lost memories are washed up, all connoting the origination of the piece.
