Photo collage with gelatin silver prints. 15.5" x 22.5" x 2". 2014
The background photo was printed from a 6 x 9 film negative taken by my grandmother, Edna Gould, circa 1920. It shows the farmhouse near Groton, NH where my mother grew up. The old stone walls still line the fields along the road, and I photographed them with my plastic toy camera in 2011. "Tossed" is a term used to describe the type of wall built not by careful placement of the stones, but rather by virtue of where the stones land when the farmer tosses them aside to clear the field for pasturing animals or growing crops.
