A series of small, seemingly inconsequential, observations, reflections and actions can, sometimes, be powerful; making the invisible visible and laying bare an internal order. This is why I make art. |

“… Terri Cummings connects memories of the past with the experience of space in her installation works. Snapshots of girls about the age of six or seven, enlarged onto veils of cloth, form the structure of Terri Cummings’ Gestalt. Cummings’ oversized prints speak to the weight that family photographs retain in our visual memory, as in Roland Barthes’ reflection on the depiction of his mother in the Winter Garden Photograph, a photograph that is never reproduced in Camera Lucida. Terri Cummings amplifies the impacts of her images through the inclusion of sound, triggering the viewer’s reflection on photography’s role as a catalyst for memory. Likewise, one recalls the effects upon memory produced by a sensory experience, as in the tasting of tea and madeleine in Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past.
Cummings adopts the commonplace, the familiar. She unfurls brightly colored, patterned fabrics, reminiscent of calico, into her space. These colored panels, juxtaposed with black and white photographs, pull the viewer into her personal past, while sharing in a collective experience of American culture. Cummings abandons the wall, allowing her quilt-like banners to define a space for the viewer’s entrance and exit. That a photograph could be fluid and changeable is suggested by the fabric supports. Our stories become metamorphosed over time despite photography’s inherent ability to fix an image. Memory is transitory and subject to revision; the photographs float to underscore that fact. “
