Kameelah Janan Rasheed
Just found out about the work of this prolific young artist via the Incoherent Light today. Another artist using found and re-appropriated imagery in an innovative manner. Her artist statement says, "My work is an excavation of memories. As an art of excavation, I am concerned with making both my process and product visible. My work is an exploration of the materials that operate as functions of
time, an occasional exorcism of insistent memories, an inquiry into the
cognitive shrines we build to memories, an examination of the rituals of
(re)memory, and an investigation of the role photography plays in
framing and mediating our relationship with time. I make use of
documentary photography, rephotography, the repurposing of
found/orphaned visual as well as textual data, and collage to (re)write
histories. I am concerned with the processes of salvaging memories,
reconstructing narratives from fragments, and creating public records." You can read more HERE, and view more of her work HERE.
