In 1958 he jumped from the rocks toward the sea, the photograph catching him partway down. In 2001, he went cycling in the hills near his home, suffered a transient ischemic attack, fell from the bicycle and for one hour, forgot his name, where he was and where he lived. After the fall he is increasingly forgetful. This show is a modest attempt to give him something back. We have tried to reclaim this lost hour, to spring him to safety and celebrate the instant in which he knew he had survived. Inventing what we cannot remember, together we consider how to get better with age.
