Molten Memories

How are memories shaped and stored? Sarah Roseman explored this by bringing her own childhood memories back into the tactile world. The ‘Molten Memories’ floor piece embodies this from a toddler’s perspective, from a level close to the ground, where fascination lies in every detail. Discarded materials from every part of the house are re-imagined to form a living landscape that reminds us of our most playful days. Remember how the couch cushions were like mountains to climb? How creaking floorboards seemed to come alive? What the relief of cool tiles felt like or the tickling grass between garden stones? Just like memories, the sections melt together and the lines between fact and fiction start to blur.
