Building blocks of Life Installation

This work was first created in response to a proposal by the curator Louise Atkinson of Artist Book Collective. 'Home from Home' was a show that transformed a city centre Victorian terrace in Leeds by responding to the theme of Home and was shown alongside the 14th Leeds International Artist Book Fair. 153 Woodhouse Lane, 11th - 18th March 2011 'Building Blocks of Life' has been created as a way to document my life. Instead of holding onto keepsakes, drawings, letters, photographs etc in the more traditional manner of photo albums, scrap books etc I have produced an installation where I have recycled these things and they have been brought together to form the building blocks of my life, although unrecognisable they still hold the same memories for me. 'Building Blocks of Life' is about the memories I hold dear to me, as well as ones forgotten in time which I still can’t let go of. Mediums: old sketchbooks, photo albums, diaries, textbooks and scrap books containing drawings, photographs, cards, letters and other snippets that have been part of my life. Each block is about 2cm cubed. (This work is an ongoing project) 'Building Blocks of Life' is being shown at 'MEMORY B(L)ANKS, Axis Arts Centre, MMU Cheshire, Crewe, CW1 5DU, from 6th-17th June 2011.
