Tender Archive is an interactive installation that will continue to grow- with your participation. Last year, as I combed through thousands of photos on my phone, certain images stood out, yearning to emerge from a thumbnail on a tiny screen and become concrete objects. As I rendered my memories in ink, I thought about what it would look like to extend this possibility to my community. Send me a photo that lives on your phone, one that feels like more than a photo. Maybe it captured a significant moment, place, or person. Maybe when you took it, you thought- this should be a painting. I'll be painting as many of your images as I can, in the hope that the resulting series will embody the possibility of exchange, community, and our collective sense of wonder.
