Nancy Goldring

Nancy Goldring observers, collects, and then reenacts the entropic process in elaborate foto-projections of subtlety and beauty. It is not nostalgia that drives these works, but historical imagination - a continually renewed recognition of the accumulation of meaning in made things. And this cultural accumulation can only be rendered and made visible in relation; that is, through the palimpsest.
