Searching through junk drawers and closets overstuffed with ephemera left by four generations of family, I create art from an assemblage of objects discovered at historic Breston Plantation in Riverton, Louisiana.

A story is recreated through collected images from 8mm film, hand written documents, vintage fabric and wallpaper, and symbolic objects found on site.

I layer these to freeze the viewer in a time period that maybe was or never has been. The scenes created are startlingly familiar, yet lost from consciousness, evoking long forgotten memories that are suddenly recalled.
