Angie Buckley

Again after going through the Contact Sheet featuring the Exhibition called Tracing Memory, the second artist I want to discuss is Angie Buckley.

"Our opinions are continuously shaped through associations with people in our immediate environment and our culture. Habits stories, and traditions from various groups are passed from one generation to the next and most of these things transform over time through a subtle metamorphosis" -Expert from Artist Statement, Angie Buckley (Contact Sheet)

He images are 20X24'', and are printed on traditional format as Silver Gelatin Prints.There are photographs of individuals placed on the actual place where the photograph was taken. She seems to be playing with stories that have taken place in a particular moment in time, One can make connections between the individuals in the photograph and the environments where the photographs are being placed. There is a clear sense of time when approaching the work as a whole which can be directly connected to our memories and how we remember. I think that she also makes clear connotations to ideas of displacement and belonging to particular cultures, time and place.

  1. How would you compare these to Isztin's work? In many ways they are similar. Which do you find to be more compelling?
