Evie Jade Green
I am an image maker drawn to the spaces where photography, graphic design, and memory intersect. My work is a way in which I can make sense of the world and attempt to locate myself within the shifting landscapes of history and community. I am captivated by the fragile nature of memory: how it shapes us even as it fades, how it defines us through what it forgets. I work with archival photographs, reimagining them through analogue processes as a means to recontextualise them and make new meanings. Through this, I investigate the contradictory tension between photography and memory.
After The Storm
After The Storm is a series of chemically-imposed archival snapshots from my childhood. The majority of the original images were discovered in my childhood home in New Orleans, all shot on film by my parents and left untouched for nearly 20 years. Inspired by my uncertain recollections of Hurricane Katrina, the work explores identity and memory—specifically, the complexity of distinguishing genuine memories from those shaped by viewing family photographs.
After The Storm: Publication
The After The Storm photo book reimagines the traditional family photo album to examine the impermanence and subjectivity of memory. Featuring the pre-existing chemically-imposted photo series that exhibit photographs from my adolescence, the book invites a more critical and reflective engagement with personal history. By revisiting these images—my own family snapshots—through an interrogative lens, I explore how memory fragments and reshapes over time—revealing its fluid, often unreliable nature. I made this book entirely by hand, in-house, using GSA facilities.
