I could not remember anything about my childhood. I made a decision to remember. West Fingerboard Road relays how I remembered my forgotten childhood memories, and references the writings of philosopher Gilles Deleuze that echo my ideas on memory and the process of remembering. This is a four-minute animation with sound. "It is true that every work or art is a monument, but here the monument is not something commemorating a past; it is a bloc of presentations that owe their presentation only to themselves and that provide the event with the compound that celebrates it. The monument's action is not memory but fabulation. We write not with childhood memories but through blocs of childhood that are the becoming-child of the present..." What is Philosophy, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari This monument West Fingerboard Road does not commemorate my childhood years. It is a bloc of images that refer only to themselves, and that combine several parts of my childhood to be celebrated. West Fingerboard Road's action is not memory. I drew not with childhood memories but through a set of fabrications. I had forgotten my memories for so long, that once I decided to remember, there was no way for me to really decide what was real or not. Fabulations they definitely are. So I drew not with childhood memories, but through my imagined blocks of childhood. What I have now in West Fingerboard Road is a becoming-child of the present. Specifically, this piece has become my own inner five year old as I can have and remember her now. West Fingerboard Road has been made with support from The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (known in the Netherlands as Fonds BKVB.)
