Identities : Lost and Found : Bruce Kirton

"Identities: Lost and Found is a two-tiered, photo-based collection of works that considers representations of identity as conveyed through: a) personal objects assembled in private spaces, i.e. bedroom dresser tops and b) re-contextualization of ‘lost’ 19th century portraits of anonymous human subjects. Both bodies of work ask questions of implication. What do these private collections of personal objects imply about the character of the assembler? How does re-working formal visual representations provide new possibilities for speculative or mutable identities?" -- Publisher's web site.
