retrieved_interiors II_leaving elswick street

This project is part of an ongoing series I have been involved with for many years. The concept of the lost and forgotten image, buried under life pressing ever forward. Here it is retrieved and recycled. Lost and found. Images of places visited, paths walked, snapshots of moments long forgotten are brought out of dusty drawers.

Beginning life as analogue images they are now reimagined as digital photography.

What remains of ourselves within the houses we leave behind, houses we lived within, memory buried beneath the floorboards, in the walls and in the spaces of light...the empty house remembers us. Photographs reveal a truth of the past separate from our fickle memories.
