Picturing the Graig a Rich Portrait of the Construction of Loss and Remembrance.

Abstract

This paper tells systemic stories from the unfolding of my life through descriptions of my physical and emotional connection to people, place and landscape. I show how I use rich portraiture (Day, 2014) to explore loss and identity. I describe the process of making a rich portrait and link this to portraiture (Lawrence-Lightfoot and Hoffmann Davis, 1997) and a/r/tography (Springgay et al, 2005). Ultimately, this describes an evolving rather than a finished piece.
