EMMA STARKEY

 

History lives within us. Knowledge is always on the move. These are sticky notes that show how some works leave residue that can be later activated, showing new possibilities within one's own ever‑evolving archive. A catalyst between the now and then, the remanences of the past cannot be separated from the present, so in this way it is reactivated anew.

 

Alchemy is a section comprised of works and experiments dating back from 2012 to the present day. These sticky notes and photographs assist me in making connections through recurring materials and actions. Rather than creating a lexicon, it serves as a method of understanding the fragility, malleability, and persistence of memory.
