Gregg Mitchell - The Uncertainty of Recollection

Picture
Picture
In the 80's my father built an aeroplane in the shed at home. He was a skillful man with abilities to be admired and respected. In Revisiting this somewhat drawn out project, which is largely committed to memory, the simulacra not only embraces time spent with my father in the shed but also acknowledges my mothers indirect presence through the inclusion of domestic values. A space somewhere between a shed and a kitchen? Whilst he received praise for his accomplishment my mother went largely unacknowledged but the reality is he couldn't have done it without her. 
A major catalyst for this work has been lofting, a now obsolete method of scaling up engineering drawing and designs to make patterns and templates for the manufacturing of boats and aircraft. I was interested to investigate the physicality of lofting, building to scale and analogue ways of making. By exploring the liminal space between 2 dimensional drawing and 3 dimensional object, the work serves to acknowledge the unseen, the people and processes behind objects we are familiar with. It is a homage to makers and the process of making.
