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