Genealogical Stories

Genealogical Stories, Installation Shot, What Remains, Swell Gallery, San Francisco, 2011

Memories come and go as time passes, the photographs in the Genealogical Stories hold those memories. Each object holds a residue of the previous owner. In this case, the photographed objects are family related and place me in a family lineage. These images also represent those I have never met, those known to me only through oral histories. Family is defined by the type of relationship or intimate bond that has developed and does not relate to the staid concepts of nuclear families. The photographs in this series serve two purposes; first, I hold onto the memory of those that have left me; second, this process allows me to purge the physical objects, leaving behind new objects and memories. This series is an archive of my memories, another temporal state; a separation between time and material.
