Augusta Wood- The Last Autumn, Self Portrait with Andy Sleeping

For her show at Angles Gallery, Whether it happened or not, Augusta Wood has combined photos from old family slides, and sometimes more recent ones she has taken herself, to form singular images all taking place in and around the house she grew up in. The result is images that question the nature of memory and personal history.

From the press release:

Whether it happened or not is an act of organizing chaos and composing a view that asserts the way things exist in the artist’s mind. These are works that reflect what she remembers and wants to stabilize, complete, and believes should not be forgotten. Wood is resisting loss. This happened, this is real, and these images exist now, whether it happened or not.

This show closes on 6/28/14.
