Simon Allard is an artist and performer who considers the importance of personal identity and how it's created, curated and influenced by real life experience. Reflecting particularly on the selective nature of memory, he explores these themes initially using ephemera and memorabilia from his personal archives to produce artists books. The thoughts generated are then carried forward into larger collages, 3D objects and performance pieces evidenced in short films. Engagement with the public is central to his work, whether by the referencing of popular culture, the use of old technology, or face to face encounters and his performances often inform future work.
