I have been working on getting a new site up for quite a while. Finally, something has materialized. IT is a bit glitchy and not completely finished, but it is up. More additions and alterations to be made soon! I will be updating directly to my site in the news feed section!

HOT TALK

Thursday, February 25, 7 pm

 

Inspired by a small found archive of personal photographs, documents, and objects, Amy Friend presents a new body of photo-based work that considers how identity comprises both fact and fiction. Composing images by overlaying fragments of the archive with anonymous secondhand photographs and her own original photographs, she infers narratives from the minimal details the remnants provide. Ambiguous and morphing, these composite images at once explore and confuse the history they reference, and Friend uses this to reflect how we understand and interpret the people around us. When anomalous threads appear and begin to unravel the fabric of stories we think we know, we call into question what is accepted as truth. So little can say so much, and even greater is the unexplored mystery of the spaces between what is known.
