Changes: Memory Palette Project (2003)

‘Changes: Memory Palette’ was Co-ordinated by NESA: North East Somerset Arts.  The commission involved working with elderly participants in their own homes working on ideas surrounding memory and identity within photographic representation.  Brett states: “Photographs enable us to remember a special person, a favorite place, or a time of happiness.  My starting point was to look through such photographs that would give the participant a sense of self-esteem and self-worth. As the memories unfolded I would then take the chosen imagery a step further and produce artwork combining the past with the present within a single image.”
