Ex-Libris is a work that is created out of associations. Associations with people, words, and family photographs. Drawing upon distinct memories conjured through affiliations associated within these frames – memories are the residue of our past.
Re-visiting Polaroids taken at the age of eleven of family, friends, and holidays in which certain fragments of memory could be recalled, the images were transferred onto single pages of a vintage English dictionary where a word associated with the image for me was emphasised, to not simply mimic the visual but emphasise the disjointed, /descriptive powers of memory through language and image.
