This print was made as part of our 2020 show by Karen Browett: Fragments Single colour hand-pulled screenprint 100cm x 141cm / on Munken Krystal 300gsm Edition of 8 About the print ”Smoke billowed to merge with the clouds as the din of clangs and pipes and distant foremen shouting filled my ears” Memories flicker like dreams. Cut scence and cello taped together at 6 frames per second. The past redacts to a single broken landscape. Whether an unarticulated trauma or a beloved memory our remembrances when retold are non temporal. Forced into linear narratives forms rupture. Grasped like a favourite tea cup, smashed and glued crudely back together we hold a jigsaw that will never be reconciled. Maybe it was never as whole as we think it must have once been anyway. Through a cut and paste of my own photographs that decay constantly with each repeated zeroxed utterance, the past present and future become a jerking interrupted rhythm. In this the interludes are as significant as the activity. These screen prints are fractured after images that find a space that can exist without possibility of totality.
