Violet Mareck, at One Paved Court

The exhibition will feature a selection of work made recently and over the last four years focusing on Violet’s preoccupation with the mind and how memories and circumstance influence who we are. The work often reflects the impact of our uncertain and demanding world, how we store memories that comfort or resurface at unexpected times. The immensity of everyone’s memories are realised in obsessive drawings and facial expression, of heads made of clay seemingly summoned from ancient times to comment on what we have become. This narrative runs through the exhibition with exhibits reflecting emotion, corruption, uncertainty. Words become important in describing memories the forgotten – fused – stitched into place – fixed – false – real – black – white – you – me - them. The translucent stitched hangings touch on the thing in the shadows, the uncomfortable passing memory that can be ignored until it touches you again and the happy memories we cling to. Our memories become something else they become our selves.
