Sarah Wray’s work focuses on the erosion of memory. Just as a digital file slowly degrades when opened and saved, memories dissolve and coalesce each time they are recalled. A series of three digital collages illustrates memories never captured by the camera that are fading out with time. Other pieces by the artist (not shown in the thesis exhibition) include digital illustrations of fleeting memories, the transition of a memory distorting, and peripheral details of memories. This collection of work was created through a process of digital manipulations with some pieces texturally treated with handmade paper pulp.
