Upon moving to an 1880 Victorian , I discovered many forgotten treasures. From old encyclopedias and medical books to windows, doors and screens. Abandoned, their value and beauty were masked by layers of dust. I wondered what memories they might hold. These images are my exploration and interpretation of these subject’s intimate stories. I capture the images with a 35mm digital camera using natural light. A specialty lens is used to enhance the dream like quality. The images are pigment ink printed onto a plastic substrate. Then the ink is transferred onto wet, handmade plaster on board, the plastic peeled away to reveal a unique fresco. Varnish and wax reinforces their tactile, aged, worn character.
