“The Cube is an imitation of life itself – or even an improvement on life.”

Erno Rubik

 

Taking the concept that every experience falters into the restraints of a perfectly symmetrical cube representing our predetermined memories and dwelling in life. I aim for my work to become the bridge between documentation and representation of an honest biography of my own experiences that I perceive as relatable to onlookers throughout the three locations that have come forward to be identified as having importance in my life. With equal sides, faces and angles the three dimensional shape holds a perfection that is near on impossible to recreate through our own means; while scales may alter the initial structure will always remain the same and contain the memory as something untouchable much like the display cabinets of a museum allowing audiences to recollect but not interfere.

 

Through a variation of emotions and situations the work compels a purity that remains unaltered despite lacking the physicality of the human presence in multiple elements; it aims to capture these moments of emotion from turmoil right through to joy when faced with life changing altercations and present them with the naivety that is to protect the privacy of those the work is based. Through stages in our lives we automatically class moments through varying levels of importance – with the good sits the bad and with the bad often many that we would rather forget. Lost to the flames of cleansing it is within our own power to move forward and start afresh – ultimately creating a stacking of one cube on top or amongst the next. Ambiguous to many, the open nature of these moments in time is something of a secret that only we ourselves can fully understand – acting as a trigger to others we embrace our pasts, presents and futures.
