DAVID SEQUEIRA

Working in a range of media, David explores the notions of language and information through colour and geometry. A self confessed hoarder, David collects books, vases, flower petals, leaves, orange domestic ware and plastic plates which all find their way into his practice. David’s interests include museums, libraries, flea markets and junk shops.

‘Firstly, they furnish recollection; they constitute our picture of the past...Secondly, objects stimulate remembering...by the serendipitous encounter, bringing back experiences which otherwise would have remained dormant, repressed or forgotten...Thirdly, objects form records: analogues to living memory, storing information beyond individual experience.’
M. Kwint 1999, Introduction: The Physical Past
