Channelling Henry Darger, using everything to hand – photocopies, tracings, found pages – to make evolving collages
Images from the family archive become characters, actors, in new stories, fusing with the found and the fictional
Birds, trees, hands, repeating
Moving paper around, provisional and accidental placings, meaning always in flux
Tomorrow it could change.
How do we use our family albums to make ongoing narratives of our lives?
“Just as there is more than one way of making photographs, so there is more than one way of using them”
“These traces of our former lives are pressed into service in a never-ending process of making, remaking sense of ourselves- now”
Annette Kuhn: “Family Snaps: The Meaning of Domestic Photography”
