I want people to see and recover lost memories through my work. I replace traditional painting with archival images, which is equivalent to a painter generating values by mixing colors on a palette. The older an image gets, the paler it becomes. With the passage of time it expresses feelings and emotions, essentially painting with time and how these forms can be interpreted over time. This has led me to work against ideas concerning the boundaries between the public and private. In the Archive of Becoming at MoMA, we see a series of family photographs reproduced from dilapidated negatives. They have been resurrected and shown in a museum context to create conversations about the preservation of heritage, collective memory, time, and notions of beauty—and about how we can interpret these images in different contexts
