Dear Mum | 2016 | Gelatin silver photograms on Hahnemuhle paper with handset letterpress printed from wood type using a Poco Proof Press and lead type using an Adana Press | paper size 11" x 14"
The phrase 'Dear Mum' is synonymous with most of us. The photograms were made using a series of found letters - a collection of saved thoughts, mundane telegrams, notes home form boarding school and places far from home. They open a conversation, possible only through their anonymity. The photograms are a shadow of their impression of the past; impressed memories of ink fading from their own folds in times. The printed phrases, 'Dear Mum' and 'p.s. I love you', were both common phrases across the collection of words from different hands. They open a conversation of intrigue and curiosity, while their humble honesty gently rings familiar bells.
