Jesseca Ferguson: The Life & Memory Of Things | The OysterCast S2 E1
Jesseca Ferguson is an artist living in Boston who works with antiquarian photo processes to think about things that pass through this world.
“You can close your eyes to reality, but not to memories.”
- Stanisław Lec (1909-1966)
I work with handmade photography and collage in a studio filled with old books and other oddments. Interacting synergistically, these objects enable me to continue my ongoing investigation of the photograph as a story written with light – a story that may, in fact, never have happened.
“Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.”
- Walter Benjamin (1892-1940)
