8mm Film Stills

These photographs were captured while watching my mother’s 8mm films from the 50's and 60’s. Family history, once tucked away, has been brought back to life on the screen in my living room. Formal dresses, dances, holidays...to an outing on a lake, reflect an era that I was not a part of, and yet to which I feel so drawn. This work addresses themes of an era in history that were defined by a spirit other than what we know today.
