In my artistic practice, I draw on my photography and photographs found in family albums to explore memory and print media as hauntings. The hauntings found in this exhibition include excised photographic information, repeating imagery, and the visual artifacts of photography, print media, and collage. 

Throughout this body of work, I propose that the hauntings of print media—resulting from contact between matrix and paper—parallel the hauntings of memory, of our contact with one another. By repeatedly re-photographing, re-printing, and re-collaging personal photographs, I build ongoing archives which emphasize photographs as an incomplete record. Encouraging artifacts and loss in printed images, I explore the blurring, overwriting, and forgetting characteristic of my experiences of memory, while arranging my hauntings into provisional, nostalgic, and hopeful personal archives.

While presenting a provisional record of memory, I ask, when do loops of re-printing, re-contextualizing, re-collaging slip into nostalgia? When do built worlds begin to resemble ruins?
