Carrie Galbraith: "The ghosts of civilizations, as found in artifacts and ruins, reflect both personal and collective loss. My interest is the theme of history and memory and stems from my own losses, as understood and interpreted in the context of collective history as found in archeological sites. The loss of family leaves ruins in the form of fragmented, and often unfathomable, memories. By combining drawing, printmaking, photography, digital imaging and writing, I explore the narratives found in these memories and inexplicable remains of the past through the book form." |
