Another Year Older is an examination of nostalgia and innocence. I wanted to create a space that could further my own understanding of familial legacy and heirlooms. By combining cyanotypes, family photos, tea bags, and quilting, I was able to fuse together a narrative on adolescence and ritual, asking questions about the spaces families create out of necessity, expectation, preservation and/or sense of self. I constructed a shrine for the years that are already gone and passed.
