Marjolaine Ryley

My work explores human relationships and the way in which we experience these as tied to specific rooms, houses, and places where we have lived or journeys we have repeatedly taken. Rather than attempting to construct clear linear narratives, I allow each story to unravel, forming its own disrupted narrative, disjointed, murky and dreamlike, in much the same way as we experience memory itself.Within my practice, there is a common theme to the subjects I choose, that of personal experiences and situations. My approach is like that of an archaeologist, sifting, revealing and preserving my subjects through the act of visually recording.
I am intrigued by the relationships between photography, history and memory and the common themes they share which question ideas of temporality, transience and truth. The indexical relationship of photography to reality parallels that of our memories to 'real' events. When examined closely both reveal our subjective influence on them.
