Still looking at my collection of things and the idea of not being able to let go, I was knocked off my bicycle a number of years ago and have all the documentation from the resulting court case including evidence that I bought from the police before it was destroyed.
As I commute to university I see a number of accidents and was also involved in one in January, this bought back memories of my original accident in 2002.
I now see police tape as that reminder, marking the scene that leads to a wreckage, injury and sometimes death. After a few weeks I see objects that have been embedded into trees or the ground. Fragments of vehicles that I collect and keep.
I asked my brother to keep an eye out for a car bonnet that had been involved in an accident after a few weeks he found one. I used this and the original witness statement from my accident, using a projector to copy the text.
'Ambivalence'
Putting it in the project space at Dartmouth Avenue something wasn't quite right about it and after discussion, I decided to rework the piece taking off most of the text.
