For What It's Worth
“In front of the photograph of my mother as a child, I tell myself: she is going to die: I shudder…over a catastrophe which has already occurred.… Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe.”
~Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida, 1980

My series is a form of restoration. Working with photographs that have been released from their family albums, I reveal written mementos. By doing so, I establish new relationships, reconnecting the memory to a once discarded image. -Mackenzie Reynolds |
