Portraits from Memory

Objects of memory, such as photographs, give body and substance to the past, rendering it tangible and seemingly fixed. Yet photos can exist in tension with the inner lives they claim to preserve, flattening subjects into a single enduring portrait.

Portraits form Memory is an autobiographical series pairing photographs with poetry, forming polyptychs that move between image and voice.

The photographs maintain a coherent surface, while the accompanying texts introduce an inner voice, creating a tension between what is shown and what is experienced.
