Close your eyes to see clearly by Loralee jade in Hobart

This work plays on the idea of reflection pools the large serene bodies of water that are designed to create a calm glass or mirror-like surface This work looks at the timelessness and unreliability of memory The vague nostalgias of playing near water building small dams in rivers and dipping feet in ponds Memories you can’t quite put your finger on mingling together to create the moment you’re in The part of you that is currently reflected in the surface the days you remember only a thin unreliable layer covering a lifetime disturbed by the slightest ripple
