Picture
I use family portraits to express the search for memory.  When looking at a photograph, so many memories arise, not all of which are necessarily about the photograph.  One memory can lead to another, ending far from where one has begun.  I aim to capture the truth and complexity of one memory.  Patterns of communication, relationships, and personalities are represented through family portraits.  I am interested in dissecting characteristics and connecting them visually.  Rather than nostalgia, memory serves as a visual history.  The portraits become metaphors for maps describing time, place and linear movement.
