T R A C E SAn exhibition of work by Pippa Young • December 13th - January 14th
the third room, New Street gallery, Penzance
Stilled Lives, oil on canvas, 400mm X 400mm
‘Traces’ is inspired by a family archive of photographs, some of which were
taken on the Isles of Scilly a century ago, and pottery fragments unearthed
from the kitchen garden of a 17th century house in Perranuthnoe. These
found remnants of past lives seem to call for documentation, elevation
and preservation but, more often than not, are discarded.
The reproductions of a tiny moment from the past, represented by the
photographs, result in emblems of transience; fixing our distance from
the time and people depicted. The images are unsatisfactory signifiers of
vanished lives; the fragments of crockery are inadequate representations
of their original form. Should they be treasured or do they simply serve as
memento mori?
Pippa Young is studying fine art at University College Falmouth and is
a member of the New Street Artists cooperative based at New Street
Gallery, opposite the Exchange in Penzance, Cornwall.
