Abandoned and discarded objects, buttons, screws, pottery shards, nuts, bolts and washers, old spoons, coins, forks and buckles. Forgotten fragments reclaimed from beneath the sea washed sand, having been submerged and now recovered with a metal detector. Seemingly insignificant bits and bobs, now arranged and contained and displayed as precious links to the past. Unrelated pieces assembled with consideration to their shared hidden history. Each broken or damaged fragment. each verdigrid coin, ionised button and bell, has a patina, a texture which evidence a journey. The boxes recreate in some way a microcosm of life..wanting to disclose the past.
`Assembages`..a continuation of the Tidal Fragments theme. `Objects conceal within them the events they have witnessed`.
