This body of work is tentatively titled, "Articles of Faith", and explores my unique experience with religion and my memories of growing up in a a fundamentalist Christian church. Themes of segmentation, alienation, and memory are present in the work and important in understanding my relationship with the church. The work was shot in my hometown around the churches I attended growing up as well as at our family home. Shot on black and white film and developed with well water from our rural farm, the work is intended to evoke nostalgia and melancholy. I combined self-portraits as well as portraits of my family to create a cast of characters that could stand in for my memories. Throughout the process of making this work I attempted to come to terms with my conflicted feelings about my upbringing. The photos created tell my story and exist as a proxy for my memories. • Author: Micah Mccoy • Publisher: Blurb • Publication Date: January 20, 2021 • Number of Pages: 32 pages • Language: English • Binding: Paperback • ISBN-10: 0464468779 • ISBN-13: 9780464468776 Show more
