THIS IS NO FANTASY
Archive of Longing is a personal search for glimpses of love and belonging within an inherited family archive, "sparks of contingency" that often escape the photographer's agenda and the subject's intentions. In the process, the family photographs are re-photographed, cropped, enlarged, and printed on glass. They are then broken and reassembled to create sculptural reliefs. Using glass instead of paper as a foundation to maintain and reveal the visual content references wet plate negatives in the history of photography, where in the 19th century, they were used for "sharper", more "stable", and detailed images.
