Indo Fulcher

Project Statement

My works convey past memories and how those memories are remembered in the present. Shadows are markers of where we are and where we are going. The shadows of my youngest brother have been a symbol of youthfulness and memories. Including my figure to connect that my shadow is over layered with my father’s and brother's. I see shadows as another version of ourselves and throughout time memories intersect.

Like objects, memory age, and I fixated on keeping them intact. I use them repetitively, trying to hold on. I use photographs that I have taken and convert them in various print processes; by using pressure prints, intaglio, laser cut stencils, and needle felting to combine all these images. In the exploration of colors, natural dyes, and multiple layers, I hope I can share my space, memory and relationships in a way viewers can experience.

Obsession, Collection: Holding On Until I’m Ready, is a continuation of previous work. Taking a deeper dive into my obsession with repetition in the objects in my life that have once been part of my life. I am finding ways to stay connected with my memories and the objects are my helpers.
