The photos are childhood photos of my mum, taken in the 1950’s and ’60’s. The original photos are small, all around 6-9cm. Most are damaged to some degree.

I scanned all her photos (about 100) then edited selected photos in photoshop. Editing focused on restoration – removing damage – and adjusting levels/contrast. Photos selected are a combination of the ones that are mum’s favourites or mean the most to her, and photos that speak to me and resonate in some way with the woman I know. I’ve used most of the photos I have of my mum and her mum. My Nanna was 40 when she had mum and 70 when I was born, so I only knew her as an older woman.

Arranged resulting 11 photos in InDesign (at Nicks suggestion) to decide layout and image sizes. Next step is to print as A1 and A2 to visualise and decide on final image sizes before sending to nick for printing. Photos will be between 2-4 x the original sizes.

Considering attaching the photos to a board and using either the other A2 or one of the A1 frames I have (same frame as the glasswork).
