Rupture is an attempt at building a relationship between a half-remembered childhood and an anonymous set of numbers. Rupture consists of three elements: a large display of data collected over the duration of my life; a collection of sixteen photographs; and audio recollections of my life in Jamaica. With this combination I explore the nature of memory and discovery. In particular I look for a way to bridge the space between memory and recollection. In my reading I travel from my own experience of cultural and political recollection through a contemplation of the poignancy within a personal snapshot to an examination of the fractured process in which our brains separate and later reassemble our past. The original impetus for this work was my memory of a night spent under the stars during a small earthquake. For a moment I was unsure if the sky was moving or the earth beneath me.
