Chrissie Craig is interested in places whose existence has outlived their function, but whose narratives continue to resonate through traces and across time. Her imagery creates a sense of dislocation and the uncanny that trigger ideas around the social and cultural imperatives that have made these places redundant, slowing down the viewer so that they can make new connections and allow new narratives to emerge. Chrissie mostly starts with her own analogue photographs, which she manipulates digitally, experimenting with layering, substrate and surface. The slightly unfocused character of the analogue media has the effect of relocating the images into a dreamlike, vaguely poetic past. The resulting work attempts to evoke broader notions of the transient nature of memory, duration and mortality.
