RECOLLECTIONS For as long as I can remember, the interaction between found objects, old photographs, family stories, and personal memories has shaped my experience with the world. I discover the significance of things forgotten through the act of creating with discarded items and found treasures. It allows me to interact with the people, some that I never knew, who have affected my story in some way. I explore the potential relationships between objects and images as a response to photographs from my family’s past. It is a way to tangibly deconstruct the story and connect my own narrative with theirs by bringing the past into the present. These events of the past live on through memory and objects yet are veiled by time, separated indefinitely. All of these things come together to illuminate the days gone by and invite us into a space where recollection and discovery converge.
