Author and artist, Roma Tearne presents her work from her time as a writer-in-residence at Van Gogh House in the form of an imagined archive of drawings, found photographs and writing.
About
Roma Tearne has been writer-in-residence at Van Gogh House for the month of April. Her residency has focussed on excavating memories from the time that she lived in Brixton as a child, alongside the histories of others who have lived here – including our most famous resident, Vincent Van Gogh.
Archive of a Ghost weaves these threads together to offer an exploration of history, memory and fiction. Tearne reconfigures Van Gogh House as an imagined archive that blurs the boundaries between subjectivity and objectivity as we discover narratives that bind these items together within our own explorations of this historic house.
You are invited to explore the archive that she has created as part of an open house weekend. We are also running guided tours that weekend – which will also include access to Roma's tour. You can sign up to those here.
