In print I explored the notion of traces people leave behind in familial treasures, clothes,and mementos.  This arose from moving home and stripping away physical layers of paint, carpet and wallpaper to reveal the underlying trace of previous owners at the same time as sorting, packing and preserving our treasures.  Emotionally it was linked with family bereavement which led to a reflection on history and storytelling. This semester I want to continue a similar exploration- layering of images, reveal of partial images, unresolved or ambiguous images, collage or moving, merging images, coupled with oral history and storytelling – sounds vague but I see it as an extension of my photography (which is where my print starts) and an opportunity to embrace some new technology.  I’m feeling overwhelmed but this is usual. I’m feeling excited as this is my only ‘art-producing’ unit this semester. Art/Artists who inspired my prints are Cornelia Parker and Clare Humphries especially Unfolding and I Believe in the AfterLIfe
