The Findings is a Super-8 film that follows its narrator on a walk into the woods to revisit an incredible place that he can no longer find and rediscover a thing he can’t quite find the words to articulate. The more he tries to describe the original experience, the less clear it is; his descriptions change with each attempt until it is uncertain whether what he is describing ever existed. And yet, he creates an object in the mind, a new “lost thing” that is suspended between narrator and viewer. The narrator’s original dérive is now in step with the viewer’s as revelations of thought, memory, and materiality — those elements that constitute our experience of the world — are redirected through creative acts of forgetting, obfuscating, and simply allowing the mind to wander.

The Findings project is elaborated over a contellation of related works, including this film; an environmental sound installation; photographs; sculptural objects; print works and artist’s books.
