Unreliable Narrator
In fiction, an unreliable narrator refers to the person telling the story who is not doing so in a complete, accurate, or truthful way. This could be due to their mental or psychic state, their own biases, or perhaps they are bending the truth for their own purposes. These pieces tell a story that is filtered through my own perceptions and interpretation of the source material. I have not sought to depict any reality that has ever existed in a consensual or historic space. The sources of these images are varied and completely unrelated to each other; found photos, family photos, and ephemera. I add elements to amplify the narrative and leave out details that may be lost to memory. Different stories weave in and out of one another. I may or may not be telling you the truth. I leave that for the viewer to decide — and create their own story.
