AN ex-Kingsbridge Community College student is asking for your memorises part of an art project for her Masters degree at Plymouth College of Art.

Jennifer-Anne Crowther is a fine artist who already has a BA Hons in Photography and was a finalist in the Association of Photographers Student Awards.

As part of her final piece she is asking individuals to contribute to her project as part of a collaboration by sharing a short description, 250 words max, of a memory that is important to them.

‘I have always had an interest in memory’, said Jennifer-Anne, ‘with subtle undertones of it appearing throughout my previous work, now I want memory to take the main focus.

‘If we allow a memory to gain complexity it becomes a question or many questions; Where was I? What was that? What time was it? How did it feel? Was that real?

‘Sometimes these questions provoke us to fill gaps with inaccurate information to satisfy the need for answers, sometimes they ignite other memories and sometimes they decay the memory as we fall further and further into the confusion of recollection.

‘Much like photography, memories are fleeting and exist in this strange state of past and present and I am exploring this through the tensions of interpreting someone else’s story.’

Responses are collected anonymously through an online form and can also be submitted publicly through social media. None of the responses are shared by the artist, however she is not responsible for sharing by others on social media platforms.

The privilege she has been given to have a part of people’s personal history will be respected and the responses will be treated sensitively.

The memories can be logged on the site ‘Memory online’ where the accounts will be used for key visual information to respond to and interpret photographically. The work is intended to explore the fragility and integrity of our memories—how the relationship between singular and collective memory changes as we share our stories over time with one another.

Memory online will form part of her research and progress into a wider catalogue of information for her final installation piece in Autumn 2017.
