Borrowed History

M.Diamond

Set of six photograms using borrowed negatives reflecting family history entwined with Kodak and photographic history. The photographers father returns our gaze seemingly with a look of disapproval from a decaying negative. The owner of the negatives gifted his darkroom equipment which was used to make the work, then later a copy of the set shown at Glasgow Art Fair was gifted to the first person who enquired about buying and 'handed down' as an inheritance piece, continuing the photographic link.
