A central motif in my practice has been the caravan. I began drawing the caravan where I used to go and stay as a child when I visited my grandparents in Cornwall. I found an old photo of my mum, sister and me in that caravan and I began to try and recreate and capture that moment. In trying to remember what it was like then and who I was- I found I couldn't fully put the pieces together or capture the essence of that time.
I wanted my drawings, models and photographs of the caravan to convey the precariousness of such moments in memory and the failure and unreliability of memory and the process of remembering is reflected in the re-making and reconstruction of the paper caravan.
