Postcards from Bygone Times explores memories of people and places we have left behind – and, for various reasons, we may never return to.

 

Through cyanotypes in postcard format, mailed to myself, these fragments of the past are physically preserved.

​

The deep blue tone speaks of memories slowly fading, while the hand-coloured details hold what time has not managed to wash away. The work serves as a tactile and conceptual investigation into the mutability of memory: How do our memories change over time? Do we see them now as we saw them then, or do they return to us through a soft, rose-tinted haze?
