TITLE: Objects Once Familiar

Our pasts are populated by memories of people, lovable or despicable, events, both joyous and cringe-worthy and objects, whether cherished or mundane. It’s this latter category of everyday objects that were once commonplace but now, no longer part of our daily lives, which serves as the raison d’etre for this collection of photographs. Through the use of light, shadow and perspective, these objects become newly resurrected into strong images transcending time and place. They are to be appreciated not just for the recollections that they may trigger but also because they are objects with inherent aesthetic value.
