Memory Sculpture
An ongoing series of digital and physical sculptures built from remembered forms, asking how memory reshapes bodies, objects, and the way artworks are documented.
Memory Sculpture is an ongoing series of works made from memories of physical forms as they shift through time and space. Rather than reconstructing a figure or object exactly, each sculpture allows recollection to stay partial, unstable, and specific. Works such as Horse Memory and Figure Memory turn remembered anatomy, movement, and feeling into digital forms presented through images, text, and video documentation that question how an artwork is encountered when it is no longer physically present.
The series connects closely to Alex May’s wider practice by treating memory not as a faithful record but as something that is continually rebuilt through technological systems. These sculptures sit between the digital and the physical, asking what is preserved, what is altered, and what becomes newly real when a remembered form is translated into code, image, and documentation. In that sense, Memory Sculpture reflects on how technology changes the way experience is stored, revisited, and believed.
