Lisa Kokin works with a wide range of mediums creating very sculptural work. I am interested in her projects using found photographs.
"I am intrigued with other people’s photographic recording of their lives both for the generic quality they possess -- the family and social rituals, studio portraits, vacation shots -- and for the feeling of sadness and nostalgia that acquiring other people’s memories provokes in me. I feel somehow that it should be illegal to own them, yet since they are for sale it might as well be me who buys them." Lisa Kokin, from her website
