2022

photograph made of ink, paper, and nylon thread

Several years ago a small group of vintage family portraits miraculously survived an electrical fire that entirely destroyed my childhood home and almost everything in it. Some of the portraits were on a laptop in the basement of the house, scanned for safekeeping, while others were original photographs. Inspired by their endurance, may goal was to create a generational portfolio that visually reimagined these portraits that literally rose up through the ashes and weathered the flames. The portraits are stitched & composited with my abstract photos to resemble flames and ashes.
