where the lost things go
The exhibition, where the lost things go is the third instalment of my research project for the DVA and was presented at the Grey Street Gallery at QCA from 27 August to 7 September 2019. The exhibition included three main works: catalogue of the found, 2018-2019, where the lost things go, 2019 and lost and longing, remembering the last time, 2019.
Found objects are a reference point for Sands’ work and imply associations related to memory and experience. The ephemeral qualities of the materials used in the work re-contextualise everyday objects evoking reflection. These objects are often repeated and scaled up or down which creates focus on often overlooked domestic objects.
