Justice-Mills, Adam E

My "memory" drawing series are pen & pastel on paper and - most recently - layered glass. They are an exploration of how we form and recall an impression of something or someone, how their significance can be undiminished despite the forgetting of details.

This year I've taken my interest in memory, as artistic inspiration, and applied it to my photographic work. What interests me about memories is how they work - what triggers recollection and association of ideas, how much can we remember from a tiny stimulus, why do we remember some things and not others, what makes some things important to remember.

For me, photography is about what's real, the experience of seeing something specific but particularly the reaction that causes in me, akin to the reaction I get when I'm drawing from memory. Photographing something is about a series of immediate choices - framing and composition, choice over the amount of light, deciding what matters.

I thought: "how can I photograph memories?"
