Archives of Personal Memories: King's (2011- 15) 

composed March 2018

This intimate archive contains memorabilia that tells the story of my time spent in King's School, Canterbury. Some items are very mundane- chocolate bar wrapper, sunglasses from a summer school trip, fiction book I've read in fifth form- while some items are more unique to King's- hymn book, brooch which is a part of the uniform, school photographs. The items are contained in a box, inspired by a tradition of having a 'Memory Box', yet inside the articles are organised according to the archival rules; instead of having the objects and documents lying inside carelessly, the items are labelled and filed chronologically.

Instalation: mix media dimentions vary
