Over het boek
One fall morning, strolling through the Milton Flea Market located in Milton, WV, I came across this treasure trove of picture post cards, cabinet cards, and misc. papers. Looking through these precious yet discarded items, I found a high school graduation roster with my great grandmother's name on it. Discovering this "trace" family prompted a search through my memories for better understanding of my roots. Having never met many of my extended family or ancestors, I scanned every face for clues of familiarity. I felt like every single one of these people could have been a "family tie" which leads me to question: Are we really the separate individuals we so believe ourselves to be?
Assembling this vast sea of faces; I turned my domicile into a gallery space to host a homecoming celebration to (re)member these people into a family; my family.
