The Artist's Voice is a group of Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu professional artists who share resources, ideas and enthusiasm, and raise awareness of local art within our community.

THE HIDDEN MEMORY OF OBJECTS

Objects are like a random filing system – always there to call on.

Do we distrust our memories, stripped of their souvenirs?

Is our fear that invisible memories may cease to exist?

Do our ancestors sing through the objects they left behind?

Are memories our portals to feeling close to the past?

Creating artworks of objects that are attached to our memories.

We cling on to objects as that recall events from the past. They become part of our identity.

They tell stories that others cannot see.

We also often create/attach stories to objects that have been abandoned by their owners ie. old wedding photos found in thrift shops
