INTRODUCTION


This blog charts the creation of David Marron’s new installation, Circular Ruin. Like the work itself, it is an assemblage of objects, images and text; an invitation to investigate the multiple narratives contained within these rooms.

 

 

In following the evolution of this work, the viewer will discover more than simply the emotional, intellectual and spiritual traces that link us with both the work and the creative process. It allows us to see that beneath the complexity of David Marron’s vision is a sense of humanity confined by neither the self nor the span of a single lifespan.

Flies gather on a window pane. The first indication of a life now extinguished. Inside lies a forgotten and misshapen form surrounded by an array of personal possessions. Fragments of a life, their relevance obscured by death. New narratives ask to be invented from these objects which stand in bewildered remembrance, plastic witnesses to a solitary death.
