I have been collecting photo albums of people from around the world since 2012. These collected memories from North America, Europe, East Asia, South West Asia and North Africa, have been displaced from their cherished homes. Their collective time period spans almost 100 years, from the late 1800s till the early 1970’s. I wanted to celebrate these once treasured objects and memories but at the same time diffuse their intimacy to make them accessible to others.

Displaced Memories is an ongoing series which has been produced as photographic c-types, giclée prints and most recently photopolymer prints. The photopolymer process was an epiphany moment. For me it’s the correlations created between the subject matter and process of producing the prints. The etched surface on the plate, the impression pressed into the paper continues to act as a trace of these memories left behind by this collected ephemera.
