I'm at the centre for interpretation of vinho verde in Ponte de Lima, Portugal. I'm installing several hundred origami cranes as cyanotype images (#metamorphogram) in the shape of a river - the river Lima, which is about 100m away.
This is just the beginning, so very much a #WIPWednesday post!

@Marvin_Rouge thank you!

The version I am planning will hopefully have the same shape as the river that runs through the town where it will be shown - Ponte de Lima in northern Portuga.

l have about 600 images for this one...

I have been back making cyanotypes.

Each of of these cyanotypes is a literal memory (as defined by my first philosophy of memory publication!).

Artist life has been hard lately. No change there, really, but it helps to make things.

More of the series 'The Scar Is not The Memory'

Making a sort of cyanotype that equates to memory let me treat each image as an individual.

I've used these ones (which were origami cranes) to explore how we can share our individual memories to create social and cultural structures.

Through shared experience, shared memory, we connect with others.

We can influence these shared memories.

They in turn influence our personal memories.

'Sociobiographic memory' perhaps.

'Cliques & Networks'

Some of my >750 orizuru images have been made into other works.

The main (dotty) picture is made from 81 individuals.

Experiences and memories make each of us unique (like orizuru).

We build connections with others through shared social, cultural and autobiographical memories.

We see the orizuru create local 'cliques' (dots) and extended 'networks' (lines), where their different memories interact.

Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.
