REMAINS

This body of work features a breached shipwreck discovered off the coast of the Aran Isles, Ireland.  It reconfigures the inner, rusted and fallen architecture of the shipwreck in a series of panelled lithographs.  The fragmenting of the work mimics the ship’s own fractured hull.  This work immerses the view as if at the moment of submergence, and questions our preconceptions of shelter and the romantic’s journey.  Wrought with themes of loss and searching, Remains features a futile narratives are imbued with a sense of unease and aftermath.​

The works take the on the form of storyboards.  This fractured, incomplete storytelling triggers tension, unease, and doubt; hinting at an event long passed but not explained, obscured and illustrated, forcing the viewer to ask if the event occurred at all. This seemingly fictionalized history creates questions of authenticity.  The title Remains refers to both the wreck as well as the narrative behind it.
