Phantasma

Drawing on family memorabilia, the Fairfield series is a response to the experience of exploring a relative's house called Fairfield and its intriguing collections of toys, shells, geological samples, magic lantern slides, memorabilia of travels, Easter eggs etc., all amassed since the late 18th century. The pieces explore nostalgia, our need for narratives and the way we try to make sense of our roots by piecing together family history.
