Iron and Silk – Installation

Cheney Studio, The MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH

Medium: Mixed media (iron, silk, photographic imagery)

Concept:

Inspired by a black-and-white photograph of my mother as a young girl in Japan—whose exact time, place, and photographer remain unknown—this installation explores the significance of “aura” in photographic images. The work considers how photographs act as stand-ins for forgotten or partially remembered experiences, reflecting on memory, absence, and the traces that images leave in shaping personal and familial histories.
