The Clever One, the Pretty One and …

For Maggie Henton the discovery of an old family photo album and the mystery of who the people represented were suggested a detective story. In reworking these photographs Maggie Henton attempted to investigate the clues they contain, but what she found only suggested more mysteries. We can only imagine the stories behind these images. The Clever One, the Pretty One and ..., was developed from a torn fragment found in the family album. This dark image suggested all sorts of stories, are these two women mother and daughter, or sisters? And who are the two people torn from the image, a man and women judging by the fragment that remains. From this distance we can only have questions and make up stories.
