Dirty Mattress – photograph; 24 X 30 in.
Amy Wainwright
Each home has a history or a memory; the frayed, scratched, and worn-down areas attest to the long-term memory created by the individuals that have lived there. These memories may also be short-term, represented by a pin caught on the carpet or the hair left behind on a mattress or bathtub. These photographs are evidence of the human presence and psychologies manifested through the imperfections and wounds to the surfaces of the home.
