“Perfection” and “No Excuses” from the Memory Markings series.Our memory is a landscape, our bodies are its map. We can trace lines with our fingers that will take us down roads, we can find markings that symbolize a monument in our past; these are our scars.For a series on mapping, I took to photographing the physical and psychological impression scars leave on a person. The ambiguity of the physical in the photograph is to pair with the ambiguity of the quote, not depicting the incident or injury, but acting as a brief view into the human psyche. Rather than romanticized and sensationalized, the photographs are gritty depictions of gritty truths.The series Memory Markings has been made into a limited edition book which can be bought at Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel briefly.The series now viewable on Flickr. -- source link
