Nothing Lasts Forever
Emma TS Robinson
In this series, I assemble and photograph things that I have found whilst walking in nature. Through the process of making and photographing, I reflect on the fragility of nature and memory. Slow walking outdoors in nature can be a kind of meditation, something that I crave away from the city. When walking, I observe the seasons and the cycles of life, and I pick up interesting tactile things like seed heads, leaves and bark. Using wool, I bind these things together, and I balance objects against each other, making sculptures which are delicate and ephemeral. I invest something of myself in the making and reconnect with nature. Matter decomposes, and memories can be faint. In producing these photographs (which are new objects), I extend the life of these things and, perhaps too, my memories.
