Description/Abstract:

Curtain of Broken Dreams is a work conceived through the analysis of data surrounding divorce statistics in the UK. The works investigate how data can be made visible through the creation of tangible emotional experience. Curtain of Broken Dreams, consists of a series interlinked chains of 1,560 pawned, discarded wedding rings which create a physical representation of 1% of the number of divorces in the UK over a typical 12-month period. Becoming enmeshed in the physical evidence of the breakdown of so many unions raises the question of how essential the right conditions, as well as the right person, are to achieving everlasting love.
