The title for this work came first, written back in 2009 then pinned on my studio wall. This hypothetical idea, with a specific sculpture in mind (seen back in 2000), was eventually brought into being for A.R Hopwood's solo show 'The False Memory Archive' at Exchange, Penzance, 2013, a showcase for various projects made whilst he was research fellow with The Wellcome Trust.

The remaking process was enacted three times for that exhibition, then was repeated once again for another exhibition in 2015 (see below), and will be again in the future. In each instance someone I don't know, but who has some facility in making, is passed a single page description written from memory of the sculpture

I saw in 2000. For example I think it was: made from a thick sheet of white polystyrene or similar; attached

to the gallery wall at a right angle; about the size of an interior door; and dotted with several large uneven holes. Each time it is remade I write a new one-page description describing at greater length every detail

I can recall.

For The False Memory Archive exhibition A.R.Hopwood knew of my 'A Sculpture I...' idea and asked if he could realise it for me as part of his show looking at the potential for distortion in long-held memories. I then wrote out a detailed description of my memory of the original sculpture (its shape, materials, display, effect), gave it to A.R,, who gave it to the Exchange gallery who then found three people with the requisite skills to attempt it. They were all given the same text, and each had one day alone in a workshop with a selection of tools and materials to produce their interpretation of what I had tried my best to describe. These three attempts were then dispersed throughout A.R. Hopwood's exhibition.
