slow emotion replay suite of works

“Memory is a vinyl disc. In our heads, a phonograph plays endlessly. The music is sometimes sublime, other times discordant. A scratch in the record might see the needle jump and skip in a loop of revision and reinterpretation. That same scratch might catch the light and become a fleeting, shining point, a sudden interruption to the slow spiral of a dark groove. 

Slow Emotion Replay represents an eclectic body of 2D and 3D work suggesting the artists’ own experience listening to those backing tracks of the mind.  

Memory and emotion are translated in form and material, abstracted or alluded to in dreams and stories. Moments that sit in harmony or in juxtaposition to the rhythm of the day. A record of the internal soundtrack. – Studio Payoka”

This suite of work was exhibited as part of slow emotion replay alongside Studio Payoka collective – William Leggett | Michele Ulrich | Scott Robinson | Adam Ismail from 18 November to 9 December 2023 at Stala Contemporary.
