A patina of time obscures the photographically etched copper plate which is a replication of a page from an old family album. It is a photo of photos, frames within a frame, alluding to a lineage. The reflective surface confronts the beholder with their own image superimposed upon familial figures. Aren’t we always thinking about ourselves when we look at photos of our family? It is aptly titled, Seeing in Reverse, not only as the orientation in which one sees their own reflection, or as a direction of looking towards the past, but as a backwards matrix to be printed from.

Copperplate photogravure matrix, plate size ~11.25 x 9.5 in.
