Untwined/Interwoven
Details
Untwined/Interwoven considers the photograph as a fragment—memory as shards of glass, scraps of fabric, or prints sewn together. Faded due to time, memories are often fickle and unreliable in nature. What pieces can be collected, selected, and separated to tell personal and collective histories? This question highlights the ephemeral, impermanent, and fragmented nature of photography as a medium that translates memory into a solid entity and serves as a vessel for remembrance and storytelling.
Curated by students at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, artists Angela Kahoali’i Casagrande, Diana Noh, and Kaitlin Santoro investigate memories through lens-based and mixed media images and fragments. By collaging found materials with photographs, all three artists show their own unique vision of what it means to hold onto and mend lived experience. Their work serves as a metric to reach into the past and reflect, creating a space for distressed recollections of place and fractured dimensions of time.
