ARTIST STATEMENT
CHRISTINE MURRAY
Christine Murray (she/her) is an Ephemeral Object Based Artist with an interest in themes around memory & moments. She explores feelings of loss through Installations with ephemeral sculptures, in this case Soap. Reproducing mementos in soap that represent objects that capture a moment of sentiment & preciousness. This remembrance only truly exists in the mind, and the object is merely a place holder susceptible to deterioration and neglect. The use of soap comments of the ephemeral and fragile nature of memories and the importance certain items may have for one person but not another.
