Dorothy Imagire”Dorothy Imagire was born in Japan and grew up all over America and the rest of the world. Her work reflects the myriad memories she developed growing up, drawing on images of artifacts as well as her own identity. She is a mixed media artist whose exhibitions range from the New Museum and Parsons in New York City to the Long Beach Museum of Art in California. She has won numerous awards for her art since graduating from RISD in 1990 with an MFA in photography.”

I found Dorothy’s Bathroom Waxed Wall art on uncommongoods.com. She has another set of gardening tools called “dig up the past,” and the one i put on here of an old camera, a typewriter, and a globe. It’s so great how an image of an object brings back so many stories, ideas, and experiences. I think that thet same thing can happen in a variety of ways. Just viewing a certain pattern, a certain color, experiencing a specific smell, or the feel of a specific fabric, or how something feels when you hold it in your hand, can bring back experiences or memories. The stories that surround these things. So personal. So universal. Awesome. Love it.
I found some more that she did on figmentsdesign.com. She simply takes a wood block, prints a photograph onto it and seals it with wax. The image ends up looking kind of ghostly. The memory of an old object. So wonderful.
“The ethereal quality of these photo prints by Dorothy Imagire makes them similar to half-forgotten memories: memories of objects and the stories that surround them. Imagire has taken prints of everyday bathroom objects and covered them with wax to give them a distant and timeless look.”
