Raw materials and absolutes are combined to disrupt perception, creating subtle mismatches between what is smelled, recognized, and remembered. Familiar olfactory cues are altered, displaced, or contradicted, producing unstable associations and fragmented sensory images.
Rather than evoking memories, the work interferes with recognition itself. Meaning remains uncertain, constantly forming but never fully settling. Taking form through artistic experimentation, this is not perfumery but a personal olfactory laboratory focused on destabilization.
LIMINAL/The Blend functions as a fracture. The compositions destabilise the past, creating false recollections that feel familiar yet remain misaligned. Memory becomes unstable material: it surfaces, shifts, and dissolves before it can settle.
A disrupted architecture of recall, where perception is continuously reconstructed. Within this Post Optical / Post Photographic Condition, smell becomes an autonomous field of distortion, residue, and temporal collapse. The Blend operates in the gap between sensation and inference, where recognition fails and perception remains unstable.
Irish bog wood, formed over long periods within peat, functions as both reservoir and filter. Each fragment has its own porosity, altering how the blend is absorbed, retained, and released. The fragrance does not project outward but emerges slowly from the material, as if memory were being retrieved from within the substrate.

Its material existence is brief. At the moment of ignition, the object relinquishes its form and enters the air as fragrance. What was tangible becomes elusive; what could be held becomes atmospheric. The gesture recalls the peculiar nature of memory: its suddenness, its instability, its resistance to being summoned or preserved. A scent may call fort something long buried, yet the memory rarely returns intact. It flickers into consciousness, altered by distance, and recedes again. Fugue gives form to this fleeting condition. The sculpture is not contained in the object alone, but in the passage it produces from matter into air, from sensation into recollection.

The scent acts as a malfunctioning archive, releasing traces of something recognisable but never enough to reconstruct the original. Opposing sensations coexist without resolution, creating a fractured sensory state where meaning remains unstable. Memory becomes matter in flux — not the past itself, but its distortion, a shifting residue altered by distance, perception, and each new encounter.
Lull gives form to this suspended condition. The sculpture becomes a space where contrast is no longer opposition, but coexistence: two forces occupying the same body, continuously dissolving into one another.
