Daisy Patton
Untitled (Two Women with Green and Gold Robes and Floral Pattern)

2020

About the Item

In Forgetting is so long, Daisy Patton collects abandoned, anonymous family photographs, enlarges them past their familiar size, and paints over them. She uses paint to disrupt, to reimagine, to re-enliven these individuals removed from their space and time. Family photographs are sacred relics to their loved ones, but unmoored the images become hauntingly absent. Taussig states that defacing these types of objects forces a “shock into being;” suddenly we perceive them as present, revered, and piercing. By mixing painting with photography, she lengthens Roland Barthes’ “moment of death” (the photograph) into a loving act of remembrance yet also a form of purgatory. Not alive but not quite dead, each person’s newly imagined and altered portrait straddles the lines between memory, identity, and death. They are monuments to the forgotten.

    By Isabel Rock
    Located in Norfolk, GB
    Isabel Rock is a creator of contemporary fairy tales. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, her work is an explosion of strange occurrences while a surreal narrative takes the audience on a journey into the imagination. Whilst Rock always has a tale to tell for each of her images, you may or may not choose to go on the journey with her or you may indeed have a different story, one of your own that jumps off the page at you, that that you decide to follow.
