Artist Statement
Days of Maple Syrup looks at memory through a family’s annual ritual of tapping maple Tree. Using these two historical processes (vanDyke brown and Cyanotype) layered on top of each other, one process reveals, while the other conceals or bleach the photograph beneath, in turn showing the malleability of memories through the layering of images. Loss comes in the form of a leaf silhouette which obstructs images. The leaves connect memories, cutting off part of the images, omitting details within each photograph, but often replacing information – each layer altering the one before.
