ARCHIVE MIST
ARCHIVE MIST (2016)
Archive Mist employs images from the American Red Cross archive held at the Library of Congress, which I edited and re-archived the content to focus on the Armenian experience shown in the pictures. Reproduced on archival paper the images are re-painted with black and white acrylics. My interventions draw inspiration from my grandfather’s past who was separated from his Armenian family at the age of five living thereafter at a Red Cross orphanage. The prints are printed on Hahnemühlepaper and are of variable sizes.
