SYNC Gallery presents Tiana Graves

Tiana Graves: Artist Statement

Tiana Graves’ current series emanates from her observations of home interiors photographed during the midst of estate sales. Rooms that are filled with decades worth of collections and personal belongings are progressively fragmented and sold while she is taking these photographs. The images comment on the passage of time in regard to the object and how that object becomes a relic and represents eras of a life. These photographs conserve memory of places and times that are not from her life. They are attempts to highlight her connection to these places while seeking ways to preserve what is left of them.
