This series is based on the one photograph that presently exists of Carland's parents together. The photograph is black and white, tiny and crumbling and it can’t be replaced because the negative no longer exists. They are standing on a porch and my mother is holding a toddler. In this series Carland recreated the original image as well as four portraits of each parent in which she is becoming both the mother and the father. These are portraits that were never made but emblazed in Carland's memory through an obsessive collection of images from photographic history. The images are reminiscent of August Sander and Dorothea Lange, not my real family but images from art history that romantically define and describe my families economic class and cultural placement.
