Daniela White
The uncertainties of life and of our position in it are ideas which underpin my research into the way art can illuminate our relationship to the past. Family photographs and objects are the triggers we use to re-live and reinvent our connections with family, place and time. The photographs I use are not merely representations of the people and places they depict; they are objects of meditation.
The artwork addresses the contradiction between the photograph as image and as object, representing the image we see when we look at a family photograph (eg: people, pets, places, relationships) and how we experience it as object: a sense of history, an archive, a personal memento, a way of knowing who we are and of speculating about other’s lives.
I use old photographs which I physically alter and re-photograph and from which I create paintings, drawings and montages in which the narrative element is subverted by the physical nature of the materials used.
