PAPER
NAUTILUS
ALEX MARCH
My research and studio practice reflects an ongoing investigation of the domestic archive as everyday portrait and place for identification and the formation of identity, and explores in particular the image/object relationship of the family photograph.
The exploration of the family photographic archive elevates the humble yet treasured origins of family history ephemera to status of artwork. Through their exploration the audience is able to both identify with the archetype: for everyone has seen, or owns pictures like these; and empathise with the clichéd impulse to relive remembered moments; but also to embrace notions of identity as formed by experience.
