Tara Jordan is a London-based Irish sculptor currently studying MA Fine Art in UAL: Central Saint Martins who believes the artifacts left behind from processes of self-creation are often messages from the unconscious. Through multidisciplinary work, viewers are invited to engage with these artifacts, blurring the lines between the artist-art-viewer triad.

Driven by an obsessive fascination with the intricacies of the communication machine, which may form the foundation of all human connections via the conscious and verbal or unconscious and physical. It's a psychoanalytic journey that seeks to decipher the hidden messages that shape our narrative selfhood. With a contemporary approach to storytelling and personal history, an autoethnographic exploration of the non-linear is embarked upon, bridging the remembered with the present and connecting across different dimensions of time.

The intertwining threads that shape our sense of self become unraveled. By delving into personal histories and engaging in a dialogical practice, the layers that compose our individual and collective identities become uncovered. With the home as an effigy for the self and the self as an effigy for the home - the 'Bedroom Everyday' becomes my gateway to navigate the passageways between personal objects and narrative selfhood as altered by the ever-growing digital realities. By incorporating familiar items, a new three-dimensional vocabulary of selfhood that evokes a rich sense of familiarity and nostalgia is curated. This intimate exploration of the domestic nucleus as a medium for self-creation allows viewers to reflect on their own experiences and establish profound connections with the captured essence of daily life, where personal narratives intertwine to form a rich tapestry.
