I
live on the small island of Mauritius and it is and has always been a
huge part of who I am. Throughout my life I have collected shells daily
and I always keep them in the pockets of my clothes. Walking on the
beach, picking up shells and feeling them has been part of a meditative
emotional process in my life for as long as I can remember.
The
works I present are a collection of tactile shapes that are made out of
soap. With each touch the forms change, smooth and reduce. By trying to
keep hold of the physical embodiment of my everyday emotions I am
losing them at the same time.
The
title of this series of sculpture refers to my life viewed as a museum
collection, referring to a particular time of my life, as well as the
colonial history of the islands I have lived on.
