Who

Sourced from photographs on the internet, Who, is a reconstruction of a person from the artist's past. Someone dear, but of whom there were no pictures upon his died. The photo album is an effort to remember him. An assemblement of images related to his life, based on memories of this man and extended by imagination.

These images create a new reality, diluting the real with the construct. An ongoing dialectic between memory and imagination is provoked, with the final result the rendering of new memories and through them a new past.
