“Mapping the Quiet Mind” (MtQM), is inspired by the idea of the kinds of vessels required to negotiate the internal landscape or architecture of the mind. The forms I am creating are drifters, journeyers. They are curious, enquiring, dynamic receptacles, vessels for oscillation. They are instruments of invention, forging new strands of connection, negotiating and re-constructing the architecture of the mind.
The function and mystery of memory has been a driving force behind this collection of work. My own grappling with memory and the imperfections of the mind has presaged the making of tangible forms and spaces, allowing my sculptures and drawings to become mnemonic devices. Through the symbolism I have developed, there are messages that can be tracked.
MtQM has developed through an extended period of research that pursues an understanding of the science and psychology that seeks to uncover the ambiguities of the mind. This exhibition is the fabrication of incarnations that explore an invisible world; made physical, visual and tangible through the mapping of my own internal and quiet mind.” – Ross Byers
