Confabulations

Theme of this portfolio is memory and truth and the objects that unlock them. Or rather, it is the exploitation of an unreliable memory. It is about how family stories become folkloric and morph with the telling and the teller. The intention is not to deceive, but to explore my truth. In time this truth may replace facts and be more colourful for it. The past has always been written from a subjective viewpoint and accepted until replaced by another�s perspective. The title of the portfolio, Confabulations, I believe captures this concept. It is also one of those wonderful words, like apple dumpling, or windowsill, which roll on the tongue leaving an aftertaste of satisfaction.�
