'His Wife Her Zine (Full Zine Spread)' A2 Archival Print (x3)
Now on display as part of the ‘Memory, Time and Country’ at Kingston Arts Centre, a beautiful group exhibition also featuring ENOKi (Darcy McConnell) and Madi (Ghostgum).
I remember flipping through big, chunky photo albums as a child, spotting familiar faces and trying to reconcile with my family’s lives before I was born, unknown to me. My grandma was once my age, too? My mum a shy teen? Lives told to me in snippets as I aged, some misremembered and others totally ignored.
In 2022, when visiting my dad’s family in Alabama, new photo albums emerged. Stashed in a big dusty box, but held carefully in their own photo album that someone else might have flipped through as a child. My grandma points out photoshoots of my dad holding themed props and I can spot his now closed gapped-teeth. And my parents are together here, smiling.
Through divorce, distance, and time, these photo collections house so many memories, magically changing stories if you look at them and squint. I’m creating my own now, too.
Digital illustrations printed on three beautiful archival quality Canson Rag Photographique 310gsm papers by Hound & Bone in Brunswick.
