photoED Magazine: Memory

Issue #74

photoED Magazine: The Memory edition in print now

“Pictures remind us where we’ve been and give other people somewhere to go.”
– Carol Jerrems

The Memory issue celebrates photo-based art that reflects on the past and guides us into the future.

In this edition, featured artists from around the world draw on their own deeply personal memories and images to present viewers with stories that ask us if decisions made in the past, were the right ones.

Shelaugh Howard’s work explores how memory can be manipulated through the dynamics at play in an abusive relationship where victims’ recollections are often contradicted and questioned, and at times those how victim may look to actively forget past events.

Geneviève Thauvette draws on her French-Canadian ancestry to craft surreal vaudevillian collages to illustrate the treatment of women throughout Quebec’s history.

Kyler Zeleny shares official and unofficial accounts of his experience in his rural hometown of Mundare, Alberta.

Chris Goodyear’s detailed memories of a sold family cottage in Ontario are recreated in her basement studio in the hopes of rekindling magical childhood moments.

Craig D’Arville looks into personal photography archives and estates, and the challenge of managing analog collections that hold lifetimes of work.

The Portfolio pages showcase a range of international creative expressions around memories made, manipulated, lost, and the places in between. Portfolio feature artists: Anthoula Lelekidis, Aline Smithson, Maya Guice, David Ofori Zapparoli, Rebecca Wood, Dalia Rahhal, Yuhan Zheng, Jaehyun Han and Michelle Leone Huisman.

+ Much much more!

The Memory issue cover features White Roses #3, from the Lexicon for Loss series by Sheila Spence, and back cover image, Such Great Heights, from The Secret Keepers series by Shelagh Howard.
