Domestic Excavation is a series of images derived from family photographs destroyed in my room during a flood. These images depicted my family in various states of play while we were living in Jamaica before we moved to the States. What happened next was a syrupy dispersion that formed on the underside of each photograph; using these abstracted forms, I then proceeded to collage various pieces of my own c-prints and rock formations taken from geology books into the project. Thinking about land and its connection to the family especially as it relates to a Caribbean household, the resulting work then pieces together this investigation of collectivity, movement and the creation of new space bounded by memory.
