Remains



My husband died in the summer of 2011 after a short illness. This body of work is about death, the process of grieving, and about the indelible presence of a person felt through the things they leave behind. Having been invited to produce a body of work with the Joco camera, a digital “Holga” with the distinctive “flaws” of lens blur and edge falloff, it seemed appropriate to use the camera to express my inherent feelings of conflict and loss. “Simple Man, Simple Dreams” was his motto. The humble objects that constituted his personal effects belie the complexity that was his soul.
