Kathryn Poole: Grave Visitations
I am interested in metempsychosis, the transmigration of the soul and how I can preserve life and memories through intimate observations of death. The grave site holds significance in my work whether it is on the side of the road, jars on my desk, or the family grave that I tend throughout the year. “Memory is, achingly, the only relationship we can have with the dead” (Sandra M. Gilbert). In creating memorials I hope to perform the obligatory tasks that the living occupy themselves with in the hope that someone will perform the same jobs, and so remember us when we are gone. https://www.kathrynpoole.co.uk/revenant
