Sun Sand Sea
Carinna Parraman
2000
folding bookwork
edition of 20
My work is about looking at the ground: of paths, routes, road markings, and imprints of human traffic. They are references to the passing of time, a reflection on my surroundings and the journeys that are made from home to work, or journeys for pleasure. They are snap shots of memories or fleeting moments captured in print. // The objective for "Sun Sand Sea" was an attempt to recapture the memories of bucket and spade beach holidays. In the 40's and 50's, for those holiday makers who did not own a camera, many tourist locations produced a selection of black and white photographs in a card folder showing scenic spots. Later-on, these developed into the fold-out colour postcards, which could be torn off and sent to friends. // The folder containing my images is lined with sand, so as the bookwork is repeatedly removed the images, like our memories, become worn away.
