Investigating the layering of memories in everyday spaces through making and text, Thea’s kintzugu’ed beach finds form the performative narrative of play in a construction where spatial relationships change.
Thea’s creative practices are grounded in conceptual architecture, exploring how memories and thoughts layer and change the spaces we occupy in the everyday. Through collecting found beach objects, and the process of kintzugu to patch the scars, fill the lack, gold the rift, each piece takes on a character and a feeling which forms part of the narrative. The work comes together in a construct of moving pieces, with changing spatial relationships, the performative nature of the investigation, play between each character forming new layers of memory.
Text and poetry play a crucial part in the process of understanding for Thea, and its integration into the whole. Documenting and archiving the collection in found furniture, such as sets of drawers, allowing the viewer to discover them through their own play with the spaces of everyday, layering their own memory and meaning into each one as it is discovered.get from form.
