Using a camera was once the only way to capture, enter, and ruminate on my memories.I use mixed media, paint, pencils, and collage on, between, and within photographs. This body grew out of searching for photographs of my father after he passed. I realized the images I had taken during his life didn’t capture the complexity of that relationship.
I physically sift through drawers, files, and boxes, pulling out images that once held emotional gravity. I tear, cut, paint, and obscure, performing the instability of memory itself. I use these fragments as anchor points in new visual constructions.
Each manipulation becomes a means of negotiating what remains and what inevitably fades. These reimagined archives compress and expand like a breath. I search for a sense of comfort in what I have and what I may ultimately misplace, transforming loss into a visual process of remembering.
