A Room Without A House

About

March 2 - March 31, 2024
Opening Reception: Sat., March 2, 5:30-8pm

Sarah Crofts documents the changing landscape of her Red Hook, Brooklyn neighborhood and re-maps her great grandmother Maria Marchio’s home which was demolished in a sweeping effort to modernize North Adams, Massachusetts in the mid twentieth century. 

In response to a series of nearby building demolitions in 2019, Crofts began to make lumen prints in situ, pressing sheets of analogue black and white photo paper against newly erected construction barriers and old overgrown fences, developing a personal way to map the changes in the environment, through a haptic approach that confronts problems of memory and the power of erasure, with fragile images that parallel the changing terrain.
