The Night Climate
Pamela’s work is an ongoing search for remnants in her external and internal environments.
Taking her first cues from the new challenges of motherhood, Pamela quickly realised the importance of the night climate. The slowed down pace of settling. The thoughts that were hers again to pick up the remnants of the day.
The freedoms that the night presented led Pamela to first to gaze internally, to attempt to re-find herself, to gather the newest parts of herself and endeavour to combine them with the more familiar segments.
This led Pamela to inevitably look to her external surroundings, her local landscape of the Shannon estuary for reference points, placement and belonging. She began her search for the remains of the day.
Through lens, process, gathering and making Pamela brings these objects, thoughts, notes, jobs, feelings to the foreground of the night landscape.
