All These Things that Move Between

“The hours between then and now
The time it takes to forget
An accumulation
A reduction
A layer between here and where you once were”
In 2020 I discovered that all my phones over the past decade had been automatically backing up my photos to my google account. I spent a lot of time combing through them that year. Among these images I found many that I didn’t remember taking or that I had clearly thought held some importance but I could not place my finger on why. I took these mysterious photos, wrote about them, printed them out, collaged them, painted on them, recreated them, and reconstructed them into a sequence that became this book. The book uses these old images in new ways to give them renewed meaning and purpose. Each image is layered over a solid colour pulled directly from a time lapse video of a sunset, creating a gradient from day to midnight as you read.
